ROSTER UNITED STATES ARMY BALLOON SCHOOL

Arcadia, California, 1919

Lieut. Colonel L. J. Mygatt

Commanding

Lieut. Col. L. J. Mygatt, a veteran of the Somme, St. Mihiel and other famous engagements, is the commander of the United States Army Balloon School at Arcadia, succeeding Maj. Felix Fleischmann.

Colonel Mygatt returned from France in December, having been in charge of the Army Balloon School at Souze, department of Arronde near Bordeaux.

Colonel Mygatt had charge of the “finishing school” for balloon observers and maneuvering officers, 12 of the former and 24 of the latter being prepared for service every month. The men were given their preliminary training at the camps in this country such as Arcadia, Camp John Wise and Camp Omaha, and then sent to the school at Souze for their final training before going to the front.

During the Somme-St. Mihiel offensive Colonel Mygatt was in command of 23 observation balloons, 17 belonging to the American forces and six of which were loaned by the French war department. In the heavy fighting along the Somme and at St. Mihiel, six of the balloons were shot down by the Germans. Colonel Mygatt is proud of the record made by the American observers at the front, the men obtaining valuable information for the American artillery.

“The observers” said Colonel Mygatt, “are entitled to as much credit in those memorable offensives as the infantry, artillery or any other branch of the service.”

Although Arcadia is not so busy as Souze, Colonel Mygatt is finding plenty of work to do, having received orders to muster out all of his force with the exception of 680 men and 32 officers. That is to be the force at the camp until the War Department determines whether the Arcadia School is to be permanent.

Colonel Mygatt is strongly in favor of making the camp permanent. He regards it as an ideal spot for an observation balloon school.

Colonel Mygatt appreciates the part the people of Los Angeles, Pasadena and Monrovia have taken in providing entertainment for the men and caring for them socially and morally. He is a personal friend of Major Fleischmann and Col. W. N. Hensley, Jr., former camp commanders.
