Air Zone

Reminder :

"FAR" or "Reserved Air Force" : Units under the exclusive responsibility of the Air Force and dedicated to the defense of the territory. Some "Reserved" units were, however, likely to provide rapid but occasional support in the event of attack: these units are marked in yellow in the table below

"FAC" ou "Air Forces of Cooperation" : means units provided to the Army for the support of troops on the ground. They are attached to "FA" (Army Air Force of the Army) and therefore to units of the Army. The "FAs" are described in more detail in the "FA" page of the menu on the left.
