RAF 43rd Wing (Texas)
Colleagues,
I have come across a passing reference to the RAF having a 43rd Wing in Texas during WW1. I'd be very grateful for any information on same. Regards, Philip |

Along with Nos 42 and 44 Wings, No 43 Wing was formed in October 1917, somewhere in Canada. As far as I can make out, all subsequently moved into the USA (better weather conditions for flying training?) and disbanded some time during 1919. Graeme |

RFC Canadian training
See the last article. 43 Wing (like the other two) only went to Texas during the winter months.
