Gentlemen,
Am I correct in my impression that British scout tactics changed and matured from late 1917 on? Prior to this time, it seems that flights were sent out to patrol an area and were operating independently. But after this time they began to have flights operate together for mutual support and before engaging, seeking some advandage. Similar to the Jasta's tactics, but with more tenacity and the need to fight it out to the bitter end since they ( the British ) were within the German lines.
