107 Squadron RAF was a Royal Flying Corps bomber unit formed during the First World War.

[9] Its main targets were enemy airfields, base areas and communication lines, which it continued to attack until the Armistice.

[2] The squadron's most successful raid was made on Saponay on 21 July 1918, where a large ammunition dump was hit.

The raid was not a success: of the five aircraft despatched only one returned – and with its bomb load still intact as it had not been able to locate the enemy.

[14] One of shoot down Blenheims (N6189), flown by F/O Herbert Lightoller, crashed into cruiser Emden, causing slight damage, killing 11 crewmen and injuring around 30.

[2] Following the Dunkirk evacuation the squadron became engaged with attacking invasion barges and shipping concentrations in the Channel ports.

[18] On return to RAF Bomber Command the squadron took up its low-level daylight raids again until August of that year, when the aircraft of the unit and their pilots -the air detachment of the squadron- were sent to Malta.

[20] It was not the last time this man was in command of a RAF unit, he ended his career as Air Marshal Sir Ivor Broom.

[21] In the meantime the rest of the squadron, forming the ground echelon, had remained at RAF Great Massingham, Norfolk and on 5 January 1942, it received Douglas Boston bombers and new aircrews, and began converting them onto this aircraft.

The squadron continued to fly the Boston until February 1944, when they converted to the Mosquito Mk.VIs and switched to night intruder operations.

[25] Remaining in Germany as part of the British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO) after the war, it was disbanded on 4 October 1948 at Wahn by being renumbered to No.
