The RFC in Italy

Can anyone furnish me with a list of all the RFC units that flew in Italy, what type of aircraft they flew and when they entered/departed the front?

Thanks,

Vince

Try obtaining a copy of OFFENSIVE PATROL by Norman MacMillan, very good book about the war in Italy from the RFC/RAF and RNAS point of view.

Thanks, John. That info is most helpful!

I'll try to get hold of a copy of that book, it's one I've never heard of before.
