I'm looking for some human interest material / stories about RFC/RAF Squadrons No. 1, 2, & 3. Would prefer material from 1917 or 1918. These can be from a published source or maybe you have an family member that served in one of these units. What's your favorite story? mjc |

I'd probably start with the Osprey Aircraft of the Aces series and see what's there. 1 Sqd flew Nieuports in 1917 and 3 sqd Camels so perhaps look in those two volumes for starters – they do tend to have snippets of the sort of thing you may be after. 2 sqd I'm not so sure about. |

Alan McLeod VC served in No. 2 Squadron. No. 2 flew Be-2s then transitioned to AWFK8s (the type McLeod flew). No. 3 flew Morane Parasols until it transitioned to Camels in mid-1917. Cecil Lewis flew Moranes with No. 3 before he was transferred to No. 56 Sqd. |
