103rd Pursuit Squadron

[Clark Furlow]

My father, Geroge Willard Furlow, became an Ace while serving in the 103rd Pursuit Squadron.
I would like to learn more about the 103rd. As I understand it, the Squadron was formed in Feb. 1918 when the Lafayette Escadrille was disbanded and most of its members were assigned to the 103rd. (this comes from a congratulatory Order issued by Lt. Col. R. M. Atkinson, First Pursuit Wing). However, I have been able to learn relatively little about the 103rd's activities during the war. Where were they stationed? In what battles did they fight?
Does anyone have any of this information? Can anyone suggest other sources that might be helpful?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.

Clark:
The 103rd Aero Squadron (Pursuit) was formed from members of SPA.124, the famous Lafayette Escadrille in February 1918. It remained with the French Groupe de Chasse 21 until early April under the 103rd's first CO, Major William Thaw. Subsequently command devolved upon Capt. Robert Rockwell, a US-trained pilot, I believe. The 103rd operated under the US 3rd Pursuit Group alongside the 28th, 93rd, and 213th Aero Squadrons and was credited with 49 aerial victories (including 2 balloons.) In addition to your dad, the 103rd produced 4 other aces.
