The Battle of St. Mihiel is of singular significance in the history of United States participation in World War I. It was the first battle in France in which an American Army fought under the American flag. The U.S. offensive gained all objectives quickly and with relatively few casualties. It eliminated a menacing salient that has threatened the Allied battleline for four years, and it cleared the way for new offensives that would end the war in less than two months. Ariel operations at St. Mihiel made the battle an important event in the history of U.S. Military aviation. This volume presents documents relating to the role of U.S. aviation in the Battle of St. Mihiel. It is the third in a series of four volumes that the Office of Air Force History has published on the U.S. Air Service in World War I.

Mitchell, Chief of Air Service, First Army, informed Gen. John J. Pershing, then commanding First Army as well as American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), that the air force he was assembling for the battle was "one of the largest ... yet brought under a single command on the front."1 Pershing -would repeat this statement, without the qualifying phrase, In the "Final Report" he would submit to the Secretary of War after the Armistice. There, the air force at St. Mlhiel would be described as "the largest assembly for aviation that had ever been engaged In one operatlon" a statement that. with variations in the wording, would be repeated many times over the years. Americans, however, sometimes tend to overlook the fact, pointed out in Pershing's report, that the air force at St. Mlhiel was an Allied rather than an American force. Pershing had to borrow heavily from the Allies to fill out the First Army for the Battle of St. Mihiel. The French provided one of the four army corps engaged In the offensive and contributed Infantry, artillery, tanks, and aviation tor service with American forces. As Commanding General of the First Army, Pershing had operational command of all forces, American and. Al/led, assigned or attached to the First Army for the battle. America's Allies made a large contribution to the airpower employed at St. Mlhiel. In fact, only about 40 percent, or about 600, of the nearly 1,500 airplanes constituting the airpower for the battle were flown by American personnel assigned to American units. Less than 50 of those 600 planes were American made, the others having been obtained from France. The other 60 percent of the total number of planes belonged to French, British, and Italian units. Further, not all of the 1,500 planes were actually under Pershing's control during the battle. While he had operational command of French and Italian aviation units attached to the First Army, he did not have such authority over British aviation, consisting of bomber units, that cooperated during the battle {see App. C). American air strength on the. Western Front increased steadily between the Battle of St. Mlhiel and the Armistice. Never again during the war, however, would the Allies assemble for any battle as much airpower as they had at St. Mihiel."

When hostilities ceased on November 11, 1918, there were actually assigned to armies 45 American squadrons and 767 pilots, 481 observers, 23 aerial gunners, and the complement of soldiers. These squadrons were equipped with 740 airplanes, with armament of the latest type, arid the flying personnel, trained in Air Service schools was second to none in the world for aggressiveness and skill. Twelve oi these squadrons were equipped with American built airplanes and Liberty engines. This engine in actual service fulfilled the highest hope of it which had been entertained in the United States. On the Marne, at St. Mihiel, and in the Argonne air forces were pitted against the best which Germany, could produce, and the results show that the enemy more than met his match. Our pilots shot down 781 enemy airplanes which were officially confirmed, and many others, too far behind the lines to be confirmed by our own witnesses, but which were nevertheless undoubtedly destroyed. They also destroyed 73 (confirmed) enemy balloon. Our total losses in air battles were 289 airplanes and 48 balloons brought down by the enemy.
