Correct. Back then every unit in the Air Service was called an Aero Squadron and a fair number of them had little to do with flying airplanes. Also, the numbering of them is not very intuitive and there were many numbers that were never used and never intended to be used. Part of that was misdirection during the war - they hoped that the Germans would hear numbers way up in the hundreds and be tricked into thinking that the U.S. actually had that many Squadrons and lose their morale.
