329 Squadron RAF, which was constituted by pilots of the Groupe de Chasse 1/2 Cigognes after the armistice of 1940.

It was not until 1916, under the pressure of the Great War in which aircraft numbers grew rapidly, that the association between the emblem and the unit became official.

In 1942, it was sent to North Africa where it took its opportunity, with other units, to join the Free French Forces and was shipped to RAF Ayr, in Scotland.

During this period, it specialised in ground attack but aerial combat was still part of the job and in December 1944, the squadron was faced with its first jet-propelled opposition.

[2] In November 1945, EC 1/2 Cigognes was re-established as a unit of the French Air Force.

Notably, it became the first unit of the French Air Force to deploy an indigenous Mach-2 fighter, the new Mirage IIIC, on 7 July 1961.

On Friday 29 July 2011, the squadron moved to Luxeuil - Saint-Sauveur Air Base.

The squadron has played a role in NATO's response to the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine, providing a pair of Mirage 2000-5Fs (along with a pair of Mirage 2000C fighters from EC 2/5) which arrived at Poland's 22nd Air Base on 2 June 2014.
