Escadrille Spa.155

Escadrille N.155 was established with Nieuport XXIV aircraft on 12 July 1917 at Montdesir, France. The squadron was updated to Nieuport XXVII fighters in November, then re-equipped with SPADs the next month. The latter change caused a squadron renaming to Escadrille Spa.155.[1]

In late January 1918, the squadron was one of four banded into Groupe de Combat 18. The Groupe, including Escadrille Spa.155, operated in support of half a dozen French field armies during mid-1918. In early September 1918, it was tasked to the American 1st Army for the Battle of Saint-Mihiel. In the aftermath of the Saint-Mihiel offensive, the Groupe moved to support IV Armee on 24 September 1918. That was its last move of the war.[1]

On 4 October 1918, the squadron was Mentioned in dispatches. Escadrille Spa.155 was credited with destroying 12 enemy airplanes and an observation balloon.[1]
