		Piatt Andrew, a political economics professor at Harvard University and a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury as the American Field Service.
		Created as an ambulance arm for the American Hospital in Paris, the American Field Service cut its ties with the hospital to become a volunteer organization providing ambulance and transport services to the Allied forces in France during World War I.
		When the United States entered the war in 1917, both the American Field Service and Norton-Harjes were merged into the U.S. Army Ambulance Corps on August 30, 1917.

	History of the American Field Service in France. 1920. Introduction.
		JULES J. THE story of the American Field Service will be found in the section histories and in the narratives that follow, a story which shows the life that these American volunteers shared with their French comrades for upward of two years.
		In the American Ambulance Hospital in Neuilly, which up to this time had served as the Field Service Headquarters, there was only space in a little outhouse (comprising one room and a telephone booth) for the office, while the attic of the hospital was the only available dormitory for the men.
		The other services were not yet ready to train them and the long list of commissions in every branch of the United States Army received by American Field Service volunteers indicates that there was little loss in opportunity due to the fulfilment of their pledge.

	History of the American Field Service in France. 1920. Introduction.
		As early as April, 1915, this volunteer service was organized in sections of twenty-five or thirty men on the pattern of the regular ambulance sections of the French Army and incorporated for administrative purposes in the Automobile Service of that army.
		The only exception concerned the Field Service ambulance sections in the Balkans, which the American Army would not accept or take over for the ostensible reason that the United States was not then at war with Austria-Hungary and could not accordingly have even non-combatant troops in service with the armies that were opposing the Austrians.
		IN connection with the separation of the American Field Service from the American Hospital, it is perhaps appropriate to digress for a moment in order to draw attention to a fundamental difference between the French and American Armies in regard to the relation of the ambulance sections to the medical service.

	American Volunteers in the French Foreign Legion, 1914-1917: James McConnell, friend to the Legionnaires
		It was undoubtedly in no small part his love of danger and adventure which first drew McConnell to France, but by the fall of 1915, these motives had given way entirely, before the keen realization of what the war meant, to a desire to give his utmost to the cause of France.
		He left the Field Service and enlisted in the French Army with the idea of training for aviation and in April, 1916, was sent to the newly formed Lafayette Escadrille, with such comrades as Rockwell, Lufbery, Prince, and Chapman.
		Some time later, she was curious about some unmelted snow out on the field near her farm and found that she had been looking at the white wings of McConnell's airplane.

	Memorial Volume of the American Field Service in France. 1921. 5/8
		At the end of his enlistment with the American Field Service in November, 1917, Elliott became inspector in the construction department of the air service at Paris, and shortly after was sent to Romorantin to assist in the building of an industrial center for the aviation branch of the army.
		When the American Field Service was taken over by the United States, he, like so many others, turned his face from the alluring prospect of a return home in the guise of a war-worn veteran to whom avenues of advancement would be open, and enlisted as a private in the American Army.
		He was pilot of the first American bombing team to cross the lines, and at the time of their death, "Pat" and his observer were the only untouched flying members of the original Squadron, all the others having been wounded, captured, or killed.

		American on Monday unveiled to the media the three gates from which the airline will operate at Love Field.
		The carrier was driven to expand from its fortress hub at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to serve Love Field by a recent relaxation of the federal Wright Amendment, which uniquely restricts Love to short-distance flights in jets with more than 56 seats.
