Armee de L'Air Nomenclature

I understand the type broad groupings eg GC, GAR, GB,GAO etc. But I'm after the nitty gritty eg number of aircraft in a flight, how many flights make an Escadrille, Escadrille to Groupes etc. Size variations between Groupes de Chasses, Groupes de Bombardment etc.

And what does the II/4 mean in GC II/4? Or the I/22 in GR I/22? Did Escadrilles have identifying numbers a'la RAF Squadrons? Or were they generic like the Luftwaffe?
