I knew I was right! Armee de L'Air unit numbered is as convoluted as the Japanese naval air system!
Are you saying CJE that units created after January 1940 used the same Escadrille numbers as those already in existence prior to '40? So that measn that GC I/1 would have had 1 ère and 2e Escadrille allocated to it, and the same Escadrille numbers would have been used in GC III/1?
Ahhh carumber! :banghead:
Another couple of questions if I may. Did each Groupe (fighter, bomber, reconn) only have two Escadrilles allocated to it? And what were the numbers of aircraft allocated to each?
