French air force unit From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Groupe de Chasse or groupe de chasse (usually abbreviated as GC) is the French language term for "fighter group" or "fighter wing". More literal translations include "pursuit group" (the US term for fighter groups prior to 1942) and "hunting group" (similar to the German language Jagdgruppe or JG).
A group de chasse may include one to four escadrilles, each of which comprises 10–12 aircraft. The commanding officer of a GC is usually a Commandant, Lieutenant-colonel or Colonel.
