Gday, looks like a lot of effort has gone in to this, good work. Just needs a few more citations though as there are some paragraphs without a reference. Have reassessed as C class for now. All the best. Anotherclown (talk) 23:12, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Initial Organization

Both Maurer and Haulman state that the 34th Aero Squadron was first organized on 11 June 1917 (as stated in the lineage). The 34th may well have drawn its personnel from Company H (later Company G), Kelly Field, and a Provisional 34th Squadron may have been formed before the 34th's organization was formalized (more likely on 25 May 1917 than on 15 July 1917, when the 34th Squadron was already in existence).

The forms "2d Company H" and "1st Company G" are unusual and may stem from a misinterpretation of Gorrell. Kelly Field was home to many short-lived organizations in 1917 as large numbers of aero squadrons were organized at Kelly. I believe the "1st" and "2d" are Gorrell's (unofficial) method to distinguish among different units with the same designation. --Lineagegeek (talk) 14:18, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
