NOTE
The normal establishment of a fighter squadron comprised 26 pilots, an initial equipment of sixteen aircraft, and a small immediate reserve (usually from three to five aircraft). When operating as a tactical formation a squadron flew normally at a strength of twelve aircraft. Alternatively a squadron might operate as two flights each of six aircraft, or as four sections each of three aircraft. As an emergency measure four aircraft were added to the establishment of each of 30 Hurricane and six Spitfire squadrons in the early summer of 1940. In theory this should have enabled each of the augmented squadrons to put an additional section into the air at moments of crisis; in practice their ability to do so was governed by the supply of pilots.
