Re: French Air Force

Neither. The Escadrilles carried forward the tradition (and the markings) of WW1 fighter units, where the numbering convention was very different. So, if I may invent an example (not having real ones to hand) a sample Groupe could be made of Escadrilles SPA46 and SPA121, both having operated SPAD fighters in WW1.
