Escadrille Spa.76 was a French fighter and reconnaissance squadron active during the First World War years of 1916 to 1918. Cited for taking more than 3,000 aerial photographs for military intelligence purposes, the unit was also credited with destroying 26 German aircraft.
Escadrille Spa.76 was founded in August 1916 at Lyon. Its original equipment of Caudron R.IV bombers was quickly replaced by Nieuport fighters, and the new unit designated Escadrille N.76 before its 8 September transfer to the V Armee at Muizon. It was refitted with SPAD S.VII[1] and SPAD S.XIII[2] fighters in late 1917, causing it to be renamed Escadrille Spa.76.[3]
After the war's end, on 2 February 1919, Escadille Spa.76 would be mentioned in dispatches for having fought in 440 dogfights and destroying 26 German aircraft, as well as flying 70 reconnaissance missions resulting in more than 3,000 photographs.[3]
