Hello, I am trying to find any information regarding the 4th Group, 5th Squadron that was based in San Pellagio, Italy. I'm a neophyte to military aviation history, so I'm not even sure if the group/squadron designation was from the Italian Air Squad, or if it was an AEF designation.
Fiorello LaGuardia was a pilot with this squad, and I am trying to find information on the following: 1) the basic makeup of the squad (i.e., how many American pilots there were, and the ratio to Italian pilots) 2)what types of missions/battles they were engaged in, and finally 3) what the unit's emblem/insignia looked like. (On the last topic, I have only been able to find a insignia for a 5th Pursuit Squadron, but have no idea if this is the Italy-based unit I'm looking for).
Any information about the above would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
