If I remember correctly, there is a fighter squadron in L'Armee de l'Air (the French Air Force) that adopted the Indian chief in war bonnet emblem of the Lafayette Escadrille.
In World War II the British Royal Air Force Eagle Squadrons (Nos. 71, 121 and 133) continued the tradition. When America entered the war, the Eagle Squadrons were absorbed into the U.S. Army Air Forces (it wouldn't be the U.S. Air Force until 1947) as the 334th, 335th and 336th Fighter Squadrons of the 4th Fighter Group, which are still active today flying F-15Es from Seymour-Johnson AFB, North Carolina.
