Department Tells of
Great Development of
Naval Aviation Service
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Although ,
its origin was an almost insignificant
corps, the United States naval avia
tion service was expanded so rapidly
during the war that when the Ger- i
mans quit it was the second largest
naval flying force in the world. De
velopment of the service, hitherto
a carefully guarded secret, has been
discussed by the navy department
in the first of a series of announce-,
ments dealing with naval aerial ae-1
tivity since April, 1917.
When the United States entered |
the world conflict it maintained a
small naval aerial establishment,
with the principal station at Pensa
cola, Florida. The personnel at
that station was 38 aviators and ■
163 enlisted men and the equip
ment consisted of 22 seaplanes, five
kite balloons and two free balloons.
A department of aviation was or
ganized immediately and the various
bureaus took up the work of pro
viding men and equipment. The
bureau of steam engineering took j
charge of the development and
manufacture of motors and radio
equipment; the bureau of construc
tion and repair dealt with the hulls
and wings of the planes; the ord
nance department provided machine
guns and bomb-launching devices
and thousands of tons of high ex
plosives and the bureau of naviga
tion supplies and trained thousands
of officers and enlisted men.
The armistice found the navy with
more than 1,500 aviators; 1,300
ground officers, and 35,000 enlisted
men, with 4,000 flight officers and
10.000 enlisted men in training.
There were in commission 1,4000
seaplanes and airplanes and about
■300 lighter-than-air craft of all
types. More than 1,200 officers and
19.000 enlisted men, together witn
388 seaplanes, 140 airplanes and 42
kite balloons were sent to the war
zone.
Meantime the single station main
tained in the United States prior
to the war had grown to seven
training stations, ten patrol stations,
nine rest and refueling stations, two
experimental stations and a number
of additional stations for various
purposes were under construction.'
They formed a girdle that encircled
the entire seacoast of the country. I
In Europe there were established
and in operation 28 American naval
flying stations, two training stations,
and 12 bombing stations, located in
England, Ireland, France and Italy.
There was also a marine aviation
station in the Azores.
A capable administrative force,
drawn by the navy from civilians,
administered the affairs of the sen
dee with great success, but regular
! navv officers were in direct charge.
i
1 Technical and manufacturing experts
of international reputation repre
sented the navy at the bases abroad
and in this country. Their loyal
services, with those of the flyers,
made possible the achievements
which brought from Admiral Will
; iam S. Sims the following praise
for the work of the naval aviation
sendee in the war:
“Please express to the naval avi
ators of America my most sincere
appreciation of their courageous and
loyal performance of duty at home
and abroad throughout the war.
'Their brilliant exploits, their de
termination to win, will ever re
main one of the highest tributes
to American manhood. The per
formance of duty of these young
naval aviators under my command
has not only been in keeping with
the very best traditions of our naval
service, but has in addition won
for America the enthusiastic praise
of her Allies.”
The American naval aviators car
ried out joint patrols with the Brit
ish, French, and Italian naval air
forces, raiding enemy submarine
bases and aircraft bases at Ostend,
Zeebrugge, Bruges, Helgoland, Poia,
Trieste, and various other points.
Large quantities of planes, subma
rines, materials, buildings, hangars,
supply stations, ammunition dumps
and other valuable military projects
were destroyed.
Seaplane patrons and aerial con
voys were particularly successful.
After the installation of American
seaplane patrols and during thou
sands of miles of convoy, only one
ship in such convoys protected by
seaplanes was ever successfully at
tacked. In the ten months Ameri
can patrols were active, only three
ships were lost in the entire area
between Penmarch and Isle d'Yeu.
British. French and Italian offi
cial records give the American
naval aviation forces credit for at
tacking 95 percent of all submarines
sighted while on patrol, in spite of
terrific weather conditions at times,
and of damaging 45 percent and
sinking 25 percent of all those at
tacked. The exact number of sub
marines sighted, attacked and sunk
cannot be made public until the
compilation of figures contained in
Allied records is completed.
