I understand that by the end of the war the US Air Service included 185 aero squadrons, of which 45 were deployed to the front in France and 39 actually saw combat. I have searched in vain for a list of the 185 squadrons. I have come across a list of the units deployed in France but it indicates 46 aero squadrons. Can anyone clarify this discrepancy? Does anyone have an authoritative list?

Thanks,

BA
