The 13th Light Bomber Squadron ((ギリシア語:13 Μοίρα Ελαφρού Βομβαρδισμού), 13 MΕΒ), was one of the three World War II aircraft squadrons in service with the Royal Hellenic Air Force, exiled in the Middle East, that fought under the auspices of the British Royal Air Force. It was the first Greek military unit founded after the German invasion and conquest of Greece in April–May 1941. ==Background== After the failed Italian attack against Greece (October 28-November 13, 1940), the Greek forces counterattacked and penetrated deep into Italian held Albanian territory. However, with the German intervention in April 1941, Greece capitulated. By April 15, 1941, the Royal Hellenic Air Force was virtually eliminated by the numerically and technically superior German ''Luftwaffe''. Part of the Greek air force personnel managed to escape to Egypt together with five Avro Anson aircraft. These aircraft formed the 13th Light Bomber Squadron during the summer of 1941, which was thus the first Greek military unit formed in the Middle East.〔The Desert Squadrons, (2008) p. 26〕 During the following months two additional Greek squadrons were founded, the 335th and 336th Pursuit Squadrons.〔The Desert Squadrons, (2008) p. 25〕
