Someone sent me this photograph of the bottom portion of a memorial on the campus of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado. It is interesting in that it commemorates neither the Air Force (which didn't exist as such until 1947) nor the Army Air Corps, but "overseas flyers". That is undoubtedly because the memorial seeks to include not only members of the United States armed forces who flew against Germany, but those American pilots who had volunteered and gone over even before we declared war (April, 1917) to fly with the British and French. But it does restrict the dates to official American involvement in World War One. That excludes American flyers which had been in action beforehand (such as the famed Lafayette Escadrille which had been operating from 1916) and any American flyers involved with the U.S. military intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1919 and 1920. Thus, although there is very little text, it is already somewhat inconsistent.

If anyone has some more photos of this memorial, or any others from the campus, they would make a great addition to sites-of-memory.de.
