Notes
Shoemaker joined the United States Air Service in 1917. To gain combat experience, he was attached to the Royal Air Force, joining 74 Squadron on 3 July 1918. After scoring five victories as an S.E.5a pilot, he was reassigned to the 17th Aero on 29 August 1918. Less than two months later, Shoemaker and another American pilot were killed when their Sopwith Camels collided above the German lines. Both men were buried in the cemetery at Bony.
