query: What is the significance of the second list of Honors and Awards received by the War Department Director of Military Aeronautics regarding the Lafayette Escadrille?
answer: The second list, received in February 1919, included citations for five squadrons, one of which was the Lafayette Escadrille (then the 103d Aero Squadron).  The Lafayette Escadrille's citation highlighted its performance in Flanders, maintaining security for observation planes and destroying enemy aircraft, despite heavy losses.  Importantly, this citation contributed to the squadron receiving the Fourragères in the colors of the Croix de Guerre.
