The Flying Circus consisted of six of America’s most famous pursuit pilots, three British “Aces” with over 100 German “kills” between them, and some of the top aviators of France. Aircraft flown by the Circus included five German Fokkers, four French Spads, four British S.E.5s, and five Curtiss JN-4H planes This was the first Air Service flight demonstration team. |
