Re: Gc I/2
GC I/2 was definetly not operationnal and wasn't engaged during the Tunisia campain or for Coastal Command patrols off Tunisia and Algeria, that were the main tasks of French airmen in 1943. It didn't take part in Corisa campain either.
So it was either a training unit during the period or it was disbanded as a flying unit but remained as an administrative body (so the commanders remained the same) before the transfer to UK, that was delayed for one reason or another.
After Torch, several French air units were disbanded due to lack of aircraft.
I will check my books at home tonight.
