Royal Flying Corps

Forerunner of the Royal Air Force, created in 1912 from the Air Battalion, Royal Engineers, as the air arm of the British army.

The RFC was organized in squadrons, each of three flights of four aircraft; at first these were mixed, but during World War I separate squadrons dedicated to fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, training, or other roles were formed. It was merged into the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918.
