1 a unit of one of the armed forces:
a squadron of Navy jets
Most of the great milestones of the squadron's history are related in this massive volume.
One chapter follows the fortunes of many of the squadron's pilots.
The squadron's second task was to chart parts of the coast and make reports concerning the harbour conditions.
These were formed into what amounted to ' squadrons ' of between 50 and 100 vessels, each under the command of a prominent military chief.
Wearing shields, one squadron attacked the other throwing javelins and then turned back to be attacked in turn.
Modern air squadrons are worth more than overseas territories.
Department was chief of both the squadron and the dockyards.
Mather may also have been involved in another similar action near the same time, on this occasion with the support of a seaplane squadron.
