Squadrons and Gruppos

[Wargames]

How many aircraft in a squadron? How many in a Gruppo?

I was expecting one of our members who studies the R.A., would jump on this question.

From Dunning pp. 13-14.

It depends on the type of unit.

Fighters: 4 a/c in a sezione. three sezioni in a squadriglia, two squadriglie in a gruppo. Three gruppi in a Stormo (72 a/c + 4 support/trans.)

Bombers/recce: 3 a/c in a sezione. three sezioni in a squadriglia, two squadriglie in a gruppo. Two gruppi in a Stormo (36 a/c + 4 support/trans.)

Pista! Jeff
