		No 6 Squadron is one of the oldest squadrons of the Indian Air Force, being one of the nine squadrons raised before or during World War Two.

		At the beginning of June 1944 No 6 Squadron was withdrawn from operations on the Burma front, the advance party leaving on the 6th and the air party on the 11th.

		No 352 was basically a fighter squadron, its training concentrated on air combat.

		The RAF employs bouncing "highballs" capable of penetrating difficult targets, and the rousing climax doubles as a rescue mission and treacherous bombing run.
		MOSQUITO SQUADRON is quite British and a very entertaining World War II action adventure tale that focuses both on story and military air bombing strategies of the era.
		RAF fighter pilots were, in the eyes of the public, supposed to be suave and debonair, yet, as this film and "Battle of Britain" prove, they were ordinary people doing extraordinarily stressful jobs in extraordinary times.

		Plot Outline An RAF squadron is assigned to knock out a German rocket fuel factory in Norway,, which is part of the Nazi effort to lauch rockets on England during D-day, by flying up a well-defended fjord at low level.
		The scenes of these rare aircraft in flight are a delight, especially since there the are no airworthy examples left in the entire world today (the last one was lost with its crew in a tragic crash in 1996).
		RAF who doesn't want to get too emotionally involved in the war, but who eventually gets consumed by it, and we see a Sikh pilot and another pilot with a hook instead of a hand.

	RAF service
		As the longest user of the Harrier the RAF has sponsored continued improvement in the aircraft, with the GR.1, GR1A, GR.3, GR.5 and GR.7 single-seaters having served, supported by T.2, T.4, T.4A and T.10 trainers.
		Until the end of the Cold War the RAF's Harrier force was primarily dedicated to supporting the British Army in Germany, with a secondary role supporting NATO's northern flank in Norway.
		Like much of Britain's armed forces, the 1990s were a period of transition towards a more flexible peace-keeping and rapid reaction role for the Harriers, a move that has culminated in the creation of the Joint Force Harrier in early 2000 to bring all UK Harrier and Sea Harrier operations together under one umbrella organisation.

	IV - OTHER ELEMENTS OF MILITARY EFFECTIVENESS
		The RAF, for example, has moved to large tankers such as the VC10 in light of the lessons learned from the Falklands conflict.

		Norman Friedman has argued that AEW aircraft are "are by no means merely defensive." Because of the narrow scope individual pilots have of the entire battle some form of central control is important.
