History
Escadrille Spa.92 was organized as part of the French VII Armee on 2 May 1917. It was dubbed Escadrille N.92 because it was equipped with Nieuport fighters. By 27 July, it had been transferred to the II Armee area of operations. [1]
On 14 May 1918, the squadron re-fitted with SPAD fighters and was renamed Escadrille Spa.92. In early June, it was one of four squadrons merged into Groupe de Combat 22. The escadrille would operate as part of the Groupe until war's end. By that time, Escadrille Spa.92 was credited with destroying 11 enemy airplanes, with eight other claims being probable victories.[1]
