Description: WindGage Collectibles Iron On Patch - 1011 - WWII Patches 91st Bombardment Group *Exclusively for Aiken's Airplanes* 5 inch patch with Rabbit standing on Clouds, holding Orange Bomb - At this point we feel we should talk about command structure. In the military there is a chain of command. In the Marines, the smallest fighting unit is the fire team. From there it moves to squads, platoons, companies, battalions, etc. In the Army Air Corps, the smallest fighting unit was the plane, commanded by the pilot. This exists even to this day, not only in the military but in civilian aviation. In the Air Corps, the structure was aircraft, squadron, group, and wings that made up an Air Force. The 91st was part of the 8th Air Force that was assigned combat operations, mostly from England, for the European Campaign. The war against Germany in World War II. The 91st consisted of four squadrons, the 322nd, the 323rd, 324th, and the 401st. All of these squadrons flew out of the same base in England. The Group structure was in place to coordinate such allocated items as planes, plane parts, fuel, and replacement crews members, both individual and crews as a unit. In the early campaign of day light precision bombing there were heavy loses both due to crewmen being wounded and entire planes being shot down. Either by fixed ground artillery or fighter aircraft. And early in the war, we had no aircraft capable of extended flight or extreme altitude to cover bombers from other fighters. The 91st, as well as other groups of its type acted as the base command structure. A squadron was responsible for it̴̥s area of work on the ground. Groups were responsible for such things as the perimeter fences and gates that allowed access to the base. Other areas of possible interest might be the structure of a bombing operation into Europe. Planes took off as a squadron a formed up as three planes, then as nine with a trailing plane as the end of a wedge. The three squadrons formed into a wedge with a trailing squadron to for the group. All of this had to be done with precision as air space was limited, as was time. Time being hurried because of fuel use with a bomber being loaded to maximum limits of lift with bombs. SKU: WG-1011
