Here's one for you airplane enthusiasts.
In addition to building models, I have other hobbies. One of these is tabletop wargames. In one game, some friends and I have custom-designed forces in a futuristic setting. The problem is I want to base the organization of my "Air Force" on USAF standards, but I've been unable to get an answer as to the basics. Here are the questions:
1) How many planes generally make up a figher squadron? A bomber squadron?
2) Beyond squadrons, what are the designations and organization for larger air units ( Fighter Wings, etc. )?
Before you suggest that I just ask the USAF, I already have. The people at the recruiting office had no idea and the response to my email to the USAF was that it depended on the type of squadron, but gave no numbers. I realize that the numbers will vary greatly between, say, a fighter squadron and an EW unit, so I'm just asking for generalized figures for fighter, bomber, and cargo units.
Thanks in advance for the help.
