BTW, the Lafayette Escadrille still exists, as the Lafayette Group in the
Armee de l'aire. They still fly with the Indian head insignia...

Lafayette Escadrille - Post WWI
"The history of the Lafayette Escadrille did not end when the squadron was
incorporated into the American Air Service. Recognizing the contribution of
the American volunteers who flew for the French cause, the Service
Aeronautique designated one of its own squadrons to carry on the tradition."
