Escadrille 2 Insignia?
Hi Folks,
I was hoping someone here might have an image of the unit insignia for French Escadrille 2. Here's the basic data on this unit, with a description of the squadron's insignia design (from Les insignia d'escadrille de l'Armee de l'Air): Esc 2 Créée MF 2 en 1912 à Verdun AR 2 en octobre 1917 SPA-Bi 2 en novembre 1917 (observation du 2e C.A.) Devient 3e escadrille du 7e R.A. le 1-1-11920 9e escadrille du 37e R.A.O. 5e escadrille de la l° escadre d'Algérie en 1936 1°escadrille du 602e groupe d'Infanterie de l'Air en mai 1937. Insignes : 3 jambes de femmes dans un cercle (Initialement bas de couleur chair sur fond de couleur variable au gré du pilote). L'insigne n'a été adopté qu'au moment de la bataille de la Somme. Auparavant le commandant d'escadrille ne tolérait aucun insigne. Any scan, picture, or link would do. Thanks!
