What Constitutes a Tour Of Operations......

...for a pilot posted to:

RAF
a) a Fighter Command squadron
b) a Bomber Command squadron
c) a Coastal Command squadron

Did the duration/conditions of the above vary for those pilots posted to the Desert Air Force, Italy, Malta or Burma? Did they vary over time eg 1940 criteria different to 1944 ?

And the same question for the US 8th Air Force
a) a fighter squadron
b) a bomber squadron

Did the same tour conditions apply equally to pilots in the 9th AF or the 12th/15th Air Forces? Did the criteria vary to those units eg 7th, 13th, XXth Air Forces in the Pacific?

Cheers.
