Lafayette Flying Corps
The Lafayette Flying Corps is a name given to the American volunteer pilots who flew in the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) during World War I. It includes the pilots who flew with the bona fide Lafayette Escadrille squadron. The estimations of number of pilots range from 180 to over 300. The generally accepted number of pilots who successfully completed French flight training is 209. Of these, 180 served in combat.〔http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/bodhidharma/flying_corps.html〕
More than 50 Flying Corps personnel (including members of the Lafayette Escadrille) initially served in the Ambulance Corps of the American Field Service.〔http://www.ourstory.info/2/c/EscLaf.html〕 AFS Surgeon-General Col. Edmund L. Gros, M.D. is credited with initiating the corps.〔The Lafayette Flying Corps; edited by James Norman Hall, Charles Nordhoff, Edgar G. Hamilton; Cambridge 1920〕
==Casualties and honors==
Sixty-nine Corps members died during the war, 42 of them in action against the enemy. The rest were results of disease, accidents, wounds, and suicide. The planes weren't very sturdy, and sometimes guns jammed too, just when they were needed. The Corps is credited with 159 enemy kills. It amassed 31 ''Croix de guerre'', and its pilots were awarded seven ''Médailles militaires'' and four ''Légions d'honneur''. Eleven of its members were deemed flying aces, claiming five air kills or more. The core squadron suffered nine losses and was credited with 41 victories.〔Bailey, Frank and Norm Franks.
