Americans in the RFC/RAF and Service Aeronautique scored earlier obviously. First USAS victory by an American in the USAS is acknowledged to be 5 February 1918 - Stephen Thompson, attached to a French unit as an observer. __________________ Join the League of World War One Aviation Historians - and receive 4 issues of "Over the Front".
