USAAF Fighter Squadron organization
In an old copy of Rust/Hess "353rd Fighter Group" I see the standard organization of a squadron was three pilots in an HQ Flight and three flights of eight pilots.
I assume the three HQ pilots were the squadron commander, the executive officer and the oparations officer. All with the rank of Major or above? With each flight there was a flight commander (a Captain?) and presumably a deputy flight commander (Captain or First Lieutenant?). Would these pilots have another role in the squadron e.g. engineering officer? regards Keith
