Through World War II and Partition of India
History
Although No. 2 Squadron was formally established in 1941 at Peshawar, its roots stretch back to the mid-1930s when Indian pilots under the RAF began preliminary training deployments. Several historical sources cite administrative groundwork, aircraft allocation issues, and instructor shortages as reasons for the squadron's delayed operationalisation.
Assignments
In 1947 during partition, No. 2 RIAF Squadron was allocated to India.
