  • The 148th Aero Squadron was a unit of the United States Army Air Service that fought on the Western Front during World War I. As a Day Pursuit (Fighter) Squadron. its mission was to engage and clear enemy aircraft from the skies and provide escort to reconnaissance and bombardment squadrons over enemy territory. It also attacked enemy observation balloons, and perform close air support and tactical bombing attacks of enemy forces along the front lines. The squadron flew combat operations attached to the British Royal Air Force between July–October 1918. In October 1918, the squadron was transferred to the United States Second Army 4th Pursuit Group. However, with Second Army's planned offensive drive on Metz cancelled due to the 1918 Armistice with Germany, the squadron saw no combat with Second Army. After the 1918 Armistice with Germany, it was demobilized in 1919 as part of the Air Service, Second United States Army. There is no modern United States Air Force unit that shares its lineage and history.
