| | Naval Aviation in World War I |
 | | When hostilities ceased, the Navy and Marine Corps aviators were using 27 bases in Europe, two in Canada, one in the Canal Zone, one in the Azores, and 12 in the United States. |
 | | This training was arranged by an agreement with the Army and the RFC that 25 men from the Navy would be included in the contingent of 100 Americans for which the Government of Canada had agreed to provide flight training. |
 | | Established for the purpose of testing the capabilities of aviation to operate with fleet forces, the new command marked the beginning of a permanent provision for aviation in fleet organization. |
