Escadrille 65

In June 1916, it was consolidated into an ad hoc Groupe de Combat that was based at Cachy.

On 17 March 1917, the unit was detached from GC 13 to support VI Armee in the Second Battle of the Aisne.

The flying unit's second citation came through on 16 November 1917, lauding them for downing 68 enemy aircraft and five observation balloons.

This second citation entitled the unit's members to the fourragere of the Croix de Guerre.

Nungesser was not known to fly a Nieuport 24bis, but this museum display of one displays the ace's markings.
