Escadrille SPA.57

Escadrille MS 57 (Squadron Morane-Saulnier 57) of the French Air Force was founded during World War I, on 10 May 1915.

[2] With the end of the war, the French Army would take the opportunity to reorganize its aviation divisions, absorbing the elements of SPA 57 into the 7th squadron of the 2e regiment d'aviation de chasse (2è RAC) out of Strasbourg.

The 2è RAC would again be absorbed by GC 11 in 1933, becoming its 4th squadron, seeing combat again in the Battle of France until finally disbanded on August 20, 1940.

[3] Lieutenant Guy Baillot stood the training squadron up once again at BAN Landivisiau on 1 September 1981, with the Morane-Saulnier MS.760 Paris and earlier models of the Dassault Falcon 10 they continue to fly today.

[3] It's unclear when it was first adopted, but the squadron used a charging wild boar as its blason as early as Capt Duseigneur's command.
