Searching for Images of Squadron Insignia

For a serious research project, I am searching for jpegs of WWI aircraft with the following squadron insignia. I need images of the airplanes themselves where the insignia can be discerned. Any help would be appreciated. Those I need to find are:

93rd Aero INDIAN on Spad.
258th Aero , LION (Breguet or Salmson)
186th Aero DEVIL with SPYGLASS (Breguet)


Thank you.

You may want to try Rosebud's WWI and Early Aviation Image Archive:

http://www.earlyaviator.com/archive1.htm

For example, from the site:
http://www.earlyaviator.com/archive/...tman93rdPS.jpg

I'm not sure where you'll find the Breguet or Salmson photos, but there are plenty of 93rd Spads there.

Regards,

The USAF Museum has a photo of an original 93rd Aero Squadron insignia.

If you come across some good resources, please post them. I had a similar request as you for a postponed (but not abandoned) project.

501XX,
I have numerous original photo's from the 258th ( Lion) and just purchased a photo of the 186th aero insignia. I do not have it in my possession yet but should have it shortly. I have no problem sharing the images with you . Please email me off site and we can discuss further.

May have some images you're looking for.

Cool breeze,

Thank you. Please see my unidentified image of a WWI aircraft panel (Indian Head on Shield) in the Camouflage & Markings section of the forum. I'd sure like to pin down an I.D.
