No. 5 Wing RAF
No. 5 Wing of the Royal Air Force was a wing of aircraft squadrons which was originally established as the Fifth Wing of the Royal Flying Corps. Currently inactive, the wing has been formed and disbanded five times over the course of its history.
==1914 to 1920==
The Fifth (Corps) Wing of the Royal Flying Corps was one of the earliest wings to be established. On 15 April 1915 No. 8 Squadron and No. 13 Squadron of the RFC were grouped together at Fort Grange, Gosport to form the 5th Wing. Major LEO Charlton, No. 8 Squadron commander, temporarily took command of the Wing until he travelled to France.
In November 1915 the 5th Wing, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel W G H Salmond arrived in the Middle East. At this time it consisted of No. 14 Squadron, No. 17 Squadron and an aircraft park.〔http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/milestones-of-flight/british_military/1915_3.cfm〕 Between June 1916 and October 1917, No. 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps – which was known as 67 Squadron in British military circles (to avoid confusion with similarly named RFC and RNAS units) – was also part of the wing.
From 1918 to 1919 the Fifth Wing was headquartered at RAF Ramleh in Palestine.〔http://www.rafweb.org/Stations/Stations-R.htm〕 In 1918 the Wing, then designated the Fifth (Corps) Wing, played a key part in the Battle of Megiddo.〔http://113squadron.com/id151.htm〕 The 5th Wing was disbanded on 1 April 1920.〔http://www.rafweb.org/Wings1.htm〕
