The day after the squadron’s first unit patrol, a newsreel photographer from The Triangle Company arrived to film the pilots and a simulated patrol. In this still from the newsreel, Kiffin poses beside his Nieuport 11. Although he is smiling in this photo, Kiffin was privately upset that the squadron was being given so much publicity. He felt the publicity should be given to French squadrons which were actually achieving victories. He didn’t feel the Lafayette Escadrille should be given publicity until they had earned it.
