ARTIFACT:
This is a huge World War I pennant for the United States Air Service 20th Aero Squadron, which came into existence in June 1917 and had a name change as soon afterward as March 1921. The pennant is in wool felt and decorated with the initials JGH, the number 20 and a winged "US" in felt, as well as a silk sewn-on American flag. Please keep in mind that some reflections show on the flag in the above photographs due to it being shrink-wrapped and are not flaws.
