Seconded to the Royal Flying Corps and initially flying the "state of the art" Sopwith Triplane, the squadrons predominantly Canadian pilots established an enviable reputation and created the legend of the Black Flight that is still discussed today. A change in aircraft to the Sopwith Camel at the end of August, kept the squadron at the cutting edge of technology, but a major disagreement over carrying out the Royal Flying Corps orders resulted in an unscheduled return to Naval control in October. The squadron remained under Naval control until the April 1, 1918, when the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps were amalgamated into the fledgling Royal Air Force. This volume provides the detailed history of this squadrons activities, combat claims, accidents and fatalities, aircraft and markings, pilots, and ground officers. 100 b/w photographs Long Description "No.10 Squadron of Englands Royal Naval Air Service was formed at St. Pol, a suburb of Dunkerque, in February 1917, as part of the rapid naval aviation expansion programme required by the Royal Naval Air Services commitment to assist the Royal Flying Cor" Details ISBN0764320556 Author Mike Westrop Publisher Schiffer Publishing Ltd ISBN-10 0764320556 ISBN-13 9780764320552 Format Hardcover Place of Publication Atglen Country of Publication United States DEWEY 940.44941 Media Book Illustrations over 100 b/w photos Subtitle Royal Naval Air Service in World War I Short Title HIST OF NO 10 SQUADRON ROYAL N Language English Pages 200 DOI 10.1604/9780764320552 AU Release Date 2004-08-16 NZ Release Date 2004-08-16 UK Release Date 2004-08-16 Audience General Imprint Schiffer Military Year 2004 Publication Date 2004-08-16 US Release Date 2004-08-16 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
