I'm trying to figure out to which Wings Blenheims Squadrons were assigned: North Africa between November 1941 and July 1942.
Thanks

At the time of operation Crusader (15th November 1941) the Desert Air Force had the following Blenheim Sqn's; 8, 11, 14, 45, 55, 84 and Lorraine.

From: Mediterranean Air War Volume 1

Regards,

Steve

Thanks Steve, but I also wanted to know if they they were assigned to some Wing. For example for some time 11 was assigned to 3 SAAF. This because some Sqn. Orbs are missing, so I'll look for Wings' orb.
Regards Michele

The only SAAF Blenheim sqdn at that time was 15 SAAF, part of 201 Naval Group, 235 Wing. Later under 253 Wing.
