3rd Squadron Australian Flying Corps
3rd Squadron Australian Flying Corps
This community remembers those who served in 3rd Squadron Australian Flying Corps. Originally formed in Australia as No 2 Squadron Australian Flying Corps, it was required to change its name to No 3 Squadron as a N0 2 Squadron had already been formed in Egypt. To avoid confusion with British Squadrons the War Office decided that Australian Squadrons would be given new numbers. No 3 Squadron was subsequently numbered No 69 Squadron. The Australians objected to being incorporated into the RFC and eventually on 11 January 1918 the titles reverted to the Australian numbering: the cardinal system (No 3 Squadron) from 11 January 1918 and then the ordinal system (3rd Squadron) from 21 August 1918.
