Note: as a training air group, this unit has no combat history in the reference work used here, which by its own editorial policy covers only front-line units.

What is still not known
- Commanding officer: this field could not be read in our copy (the top of the page is cut off).
- Men of this unit: apart from the commander, no names have been gathered yet.
- War record: where this unit went and what it did has not been traced yet.
This card is made only of facts copied from one book. Only what can be confirmed against a primary source will one day become 🟢. An empty field means the book does not say. Nothing has been filled in by guesswork.
