AIRCRAFT, ARMY WING.--Strategical reconnaissance including
the reconnaissance of areas beyond the tactical zone
and in which the enemy's main reserves are located, also
distant photography and aerial offensive, will be carried out
by an Army squadron under instructions issued direct from
G.H.Q. Protection from hostile aircraft will be the main
duty of the Army fighting squadron. A bombing squadron
will be held in readiness for any aerial offensive which the
situation may render desirable.
CORPS SQUADRONS.--Two Corps squadrons will undertake
artillery co-operation, contact patrols, and tactical reconnaissance
for the Corps to which they are attached. In the
case of the Desert Mounted Corps one flight from the Corps
squadron attached to XXth Corps will be responsible for
the above work. Photography of trench areas will normally
