RFC squadrons

RFC squadrons, originally from the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in World War I, are military aviation units specializing in specific roles like reconnaissance, fighter, or bomber missions. They are organized groups of aircraft and personnel trained to perform coordinated actions, often within a larger formation or mission. Today, similar concepts apply in modern air forces, where squadrons serve as fundamental operational units, providing structure, training, and expertise for specific types of aircraft and combat or support roles. In essence, an RFC squadron is a dedicated team equipped and organized to carry out particular aviation tasks efficiently.
