Caption: The basic squadron units that VFs are operated in are VF platoons (composed of about 3 to 4 planes), VF companies, and VF battalions. Even among those there are VF units that ace pilots are attached to, for example Major Roy Fokker, and they left behind great military gains in the wars and disputes of each age.
