RAF fighter squadrons' individual flights?
Hi
I should know this, but......... Within RAF fighter squadrons there were normally two operational flights - A Flight and B Flight, and within each Flight, sections of usually three aircraft that were colour-coded in order of seniority: A Flight (senior Flight) Red Section (senior Section) Yellow Section B Flight Blue Section (senior Section) Green Section However, I believe, White, Brown and Black Sections existed on occasion. Is this correct? And would a pilot have normally been assigned to one particular Section? Was this system continued with FAA fighter squadrons, which often flew in pairs, particularly when operating from carriers? Stay safe Brian |
