Air Service, United States Army Lieutenant Remington D. B. Vernam (March 24, 1896 - December 1, 1918) was an American pilot who had enlisted in the French air service during World War I, and was transferred to the United States Army Air Service after American entry into the war.
He shared his first victory, a balloon on 12 August 1918, with Charles Lefevre while with Escadrille 96.
His remaining five victories were scored between 10 and 30 October 1918 while flying with the 22nd Aero Squadron.
Vernam was shot down behind German lines on October 30, 1918, aged 22, later dying from his wounds.
Successively attacking two enemy balloons, which were moored to their nests, Lieutenant Vernam displayed the highest degree of daring.
