No. 110 Squadron Royal Flying Corps
No 110 Squadron formed as a light bomber squadron at Rendcombe on the 1st of November 1917 initially as training squadron. In April 1918 it was redesignated No. 110 Squadron, Royal Air Force. In July 1918 the Squadron received the first DH9As. These were the gift of His Exalted Highness, the Nizam of Hyderabad. Each aircraft bore an inscription to that effect, and the unit became known as the 'Hyderabad' Squadron in the newly formed Royal Air Force. The next two months were spent working up. They proceeded to France in September to joining the Independent Force and carried out daylight raids against targets in Germany. After the Armistice they remained on the continent in the role of light transport (mail) unit until the squadron was disbanded on 27th of August 1919.
