Sgt. Robert Soubiran poses with his Neiuport at the Cachy Aerodrome in 1916. Members of the escadrille adopted the
Indian-head insignia as a symbol of the American fighting spirit. Soubiran himself was awarded the French Legion of Honor and
the Croix de Guerre and later on commanded the US 103rd Pursuit Squadron, which absorbed many members of the Lafayette
Escadrille after the US entered the war. Photo Courtesy of the AIR FORCE Magazine |
