No 60 Sqn Rfc/raf

WHEN NO 60 SQN ARRIVED IN FRANCE IN MAY 1916, PARTIALLY EQUIPPED WITH THE DELIGHTFULLY NAMED MORANE BULLET, THERE WERE ONLY TWO DEDICATED SINGLE-SEAT FIGHTER SQUADRONS ON THE WESTERN FRONT. OPERATING INITIALLY AS A UTILITY UNIT, NO 60 SQN`S DUTIES WERE MIXED - RECONNAISSANCE, FIGHTER PATROLS, AND ESCORTS (BY ONE FLIGHT), AS WELL AS THE LANDING OF SPIES BEHIND THE ENEMY LINES.
