Royal Iraqi Navy Air Force

Royal Iraqi Navy Air Force (RINAF)

In January 1941 the RINAF was formed with surplus RAF equipment to support the operations of the growing Royal Iraqi Navy. In wartime it would also support the operations of the Royal Navy's Persian Gulf Station. The sole base is at Basra co-located with No.5 RIAF Squadron.

Order of Battle
No.1 Squadron, Basra, (12 Fairey Barracuda TBR.Mk.I)
No.2 Squadron, Basra, (1 Short Sunderland MR.Mk.III, 4 Supermarine Sea Otter and 4 Fairey Swordfish I seaplanes)
Training Flight, Basra, (2 D.H. Tiger Moth, 8 Percival Pretence T.Mk.II and 4 Fairey Swordfish I)

Note: all the Swordfish are equipped with interchangable wheel and float undercarriages.
