Item Description
Original Items: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of a lovely framed display of WWI US Army Air Service insignia. The insignia was removed (not by us) from the uniform of Corporal Frank Gaukel, a Photographer, served as a Corporal with the 15th Photo Section of the First Army Air Service. While the insignia is in good, displayable condition, the cloth insignia was unfortunately glued to the frame backing. The frame is missing the glass face, but a replacement should be no problem to acquire.
The First Army Air Service was an Air Service, United States Army unit that fought on the Western Front during World War I as part of the Air Service, First United States Army. The First Army Air Service was the largest and most diverse Air Service combat organization of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, and most American Air Service combat units were assigned to it when assigned to the front.
The organization was demobilized in France on 15 April 1919 with the demobilization of the United States First Army. It was reconstituted in the Organized Reserve on 15 October 1921 as Headquarters, First Army Air Service, assigned to the First Army and allotted to the First Corps Area. It was then allotted to the Regular Army in 1928, and then inactivated in December 1929.
