Re: Squadron Sizes of the USAAF
Hi
As a starting point try and get a look at a book by Roger A Freeman, The Mighty Eighth War Manual, published in the late 80's by Arms and Armour Press and reprinted since. It covers most aspects of the 8th Air Force mode of Operation in the European Theatre from bases in England. He has written many books on the 8th Air Force but the Manual gives the "nuts and bolts" detail and should cover a lot of what you are looking for Regards Dick |

Hi Sarge,
See attached chart. It is taken from The Official Guide to the Army Air Force published in 1944. Best Regards Andy Fletcher

Re: Squadron Sizes of the USAAF
In 1943 Photo Recce Sqns had an establishment (TO&E) of 13 a/c, I don't know if this was increased later in the war.
