abstract	The 139th Aero Squadron was a Air Service, United States Army unit that fought on the Western Front during World War I. The squadron was assigned as a Day Pursuit (Fighter) Squadron as part of the 2d Pursuit Group, First United States Army. 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 was very successful in combat, having half a dozen Air Aces including David Putnam, Karl Schoen, Robert Opie Lindsay, and future Brigadier General Harold H. George. After the 1918 Armistice with Germany, the squadron returned to the United States in June 1919 and was demobilied. There is no current United States Air Force or Air National Guard unit that shares its lineage and history.
