Flight commanders in 85 Squadron
I may be getting a bit slow as I get older but can anyone clarify the flight commanders of 85 Squadron in 1918? I had thought that George Baker led A Flight, Randall B Flight and Horn C Flight. However this leaves no room for Benbow. I assume McGregor took charge of A Flight in July 1918 and that Beverley MacDonald replaced either Randall or Horn?

Looking again it seems Randall replaced Benbow because he was with the squadron in June 1918, and Baker was still there when Mannock was lost in July. The would mean that Baker was superseded by McGregor who had been a member of Horns C Flight?
After his promotion McGregor led A Flight, therefore Captain GBA Baker was apparently it's leader until July or August which would mean Benbow led B Flight until his death? He being replaced by Captain AC Randall? regards Keith |
