: How many B-17s would normally make up a Squadron, and how many squadrons would normally make up a group?
: The 306th Bomb Group and the 369th BS during the fall of 1944 are of particular interest.
: Thanks,

There were many exceptions but generally speaking a squadron consisted of 13 aircraft, 3 Squadrons formed a group, 3 groups formed a wing, 1 division had a few groups and a fleet had a few divisions.
