AIR OP DAYS
AIR OP DAYS First Great War (1914 – 1918) In the first Great War, the aircraft was a novelty and was initially used for the battle field surveillance, in the Battle of Tannenberg 1914, 1, 25, 000 Russian soldiers and 500 guns surrendered due to German Aerial reconnaissance, as the war progressed, aircraft of Royal Flying Corps which was established in 1912, were used for multiple functions, chiefly the adjustment of artillery fire, bombing, dogfight, aerial photography and weather data were inducted Pilots Officers were carefully selected captains from Royal Regiment of Artillery; they had to be first class shots with field, medium and heavy guns and a great skill of pilot ability. They had the authority to call upon the concentrated fire of hundreds of guns. There was only one way telegraphy to the battery, who cold reply back using system of white cloth signals, sorties were long { two hours} ranging procedure was cumbersome but effective, one persistent danger was of flying on to own shell trajectory Shoot Procedure. The pilot would arrive at the battery position. His aircraft would take 150 – 200 feet for take off and landing, he would be briefed by the battery commander. Pilot would get airborne and check his one way telegraphy / radio communication with battery who would reply back through flag signals This system had inherent flaw, one it was time consuming, pilot belonged to another service, with little knowledge of tactical situation prevailing on ground, and he was briefed by the air liaison officer who in turn was briefed by chain of staff officers. Royal Artillery In 1938, consisted of almost half the British Army, and they felt the need for a readily available aircraft, which would get airborne in minimum time and could communicate directly with the Guns.“The battery Commanders, wanted to see a target out of sight behind a hill is compelled to call a upon a unit Operating from a distant landing ground, when five minutes in the air above his own battery position over a thousand feet up would meet all his needs” In 1938-39 tests and trials were carried out with French army, who were contemplating the same idea, It finally resulted in the formation of squadron 651 (AOP). In Feb 1940. It was the first flying OP unit of RAF. In 1941 the American adopted the same approach and established on 6 June 1942, a light aircraft as an organic part of all Field Artillery Battalions.
