HISTORY
Before the United States entered the war in 1917, American sympathy for the Allies took many forms. One of the most famous was the Lafayette Escadrille, which started in April, 1916 as the Escadrille Américaine.
As this name prompted German diplomatic complaints, it was renamed the Escadrille Lafayette.
