UNITED STATES ARMY AIR SERVICE VICTORIES The following list contains the names, rank and number of last service formation of officers of the Air Service, American Expeditionary Forces, who in the World War brought down (destruction confirmed) five or more enemy aircraft as specified herewith. This list is the latest and most authentic compilation of American aerial victories which it has been possible to prepare after months of painstaking investigation. The number of enemy aircraft destroyed with which members of the Army Air Service are credited with in this list, does not include such victories as some of them achieved while serving as members of Allied air forces. This explanation is made for the reason that some prominent aviators with long lists of victories are absent from this list. Deceased aviators are indicated by an asterisk. In the column "Last Formation" a number indicates the squadron number of the United States Army Air Service, while R. A. F. denotes that the officer, while a member of the United States Army Air Service, was individually attached to the Royal Air Force of Great Britain. *PUTNAM, DAVID E., 1st Lieut. Chicago, Illinois.
