Default British Royal Naval Air Service

British Royal Naval Air Service
On April 1, 1918, the Royal Naval Air Service was merged in the Royal
Air Force. How many Naval squadrons were there before the merger? Were any
naval pilots the recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross (D.F.C.); the
Air Force Cross (A.F.C.) and the Air Force Medal (A.F.M.) during WWI
(1914-1918)?
Thanks
Mike

That's not quite correct. The Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying
Corps were separated from the Royal Navy and British Army and merged to form
the independent Royal Air Force.
