OXFORD’S OWN The Men and Machines of No. 15/XV Squadron Royal Flying Corps/Royal Air Force

Oxford’s Own is the story of No.15/XV Squadron, Royal Flying Corps/Royal Air Force, of the men who served with it and the aircraft it flew. The story begins with the formation of No.15 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, on 1st March 1915, at South Farnborough, Hampshire and follows the fates and fortunes of the men and machines who served during the Great War, between December 1915 and December 1919. In April 1939, the Squadron was adopted by the city of Oxford and was unofficially known as “Oxford’s Own”. The Second World War brought major expansion and changes in equipment. Battles, Wellingtons, Stirlings and Lancasters all saw service with No XV Squadron. The post World Warr II era led to the Squadron being equipped with Avro Lincoln bombers, followed in succession by American built B-29’s, known to Canberra, Victor, Buccaneer and Panavia Tornado.
