The work of the squadron is appre-

pressed widely for more American
squadrons of this character which pro-

range-regulatino airplanes and act as
escorts for bombarding squadrons.. It
is asserted throughout the army that
the presence of American and other
hunting squadrons has played great
part in the recent victories.
The American airmen are still wear

them are fully qualified. according to
their officers. to become leaders Of
