Ricks, Webmaster, 97th Engineer Battalion, with supportive material assistance from Daniel N. Klinck EVIDENCE OF AN EARLY COMBAT AVIATION FORCE STATIONED AT VASSINCOURT, FRANCE, CIRCA 1939 UNITS THAT SERVED: 67 (FIGHTER) WING Wing Commander C. Walter HQ: Bussy-la-Côte, 1 SQUADRON Hurricanes (JX) Base: Vassincourt to Berry-au-Bac Source: BRITISH AIR FORCES IN FRANCE (BAAF) May 10 - June 19, 1940 http://seowhq.net/seowforum/viewtopic.php?t=514&start=15 Battle of France 75 – Pt.8 – No. 1 Squadron Hurricane exploits in France Source: Battle of France : http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2015/06/09/battle-of- france-75-pt-8-no-1-squadron-hurricane-exploits-in-france/ [use this link to read the full story] No. 1 Squadron, RAF Leading the squadron at this time was a relative newcomer, Squadron Leader J.H Halahan, an Irishman by the nickname “The Bull”, having taken over in April 1939. Despite this he was well-respected by his pilots for both his flying and leading abilities, and had served in Palestine and Iraq prior to taking over. He shaped the men for combat – reading every situation and knowing when and how to attack, but also when to back out of a fight – helping them to hone their skills. This couldn’t have been more in contrast to No. 1 Sqn’s sister in 67 Wing, No. 73 Sqn, led by ‘Cobber’ Kain, who the No. 1 Sqn boys thought of as a “split-arse pilot”.
