contingent of two Canadian air force <a href="/wiki/Squadron_(aviation)" title="Squadron (aviation)">squadrons</a> – one fighter and one bomber – authorized by the British Air Ministry in August 1918 during the close of the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>. The unit was independent from the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Expeditionary_Force" title="Canadian Expeditionary Force">Canadian Expeditionary Force</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a> (RAF). </p><p>In addition to the two squadrons, a CAF Directorate of Air Services was formed, which was a branch of the <i>General Staff of the Overseas Military Forces of Canada</i>. The CAF's first commander, <a href="/wiki/Billy_Bishop" title="Billy Bishop">Lt. Col. W. A. Bishop</a> began setting up the squadrons in August 1918. The two squadrons never fought during the war, which ended on 11 November 1918. The squadrons were administered by No. 1 Wing CAF, which was formed in March 1919. </p><p>Both squadrons were stationed in the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a> at <a href="/wiki/RAF_Upper_Heyford" title="RAF Upper Heyford">Upper Heyford</a> and later, <a href="/wiki/Shoreham_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Shoreham Airport">Shoreham-By-Sea</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sussex" title="Sussex">Sussex</a>. All aircraft, equipment and training facilities were provided by Britain. Recruiting, pay and clothing, however, was a Canadian responsibility. </p><p>The British government cut funding for the squadrons in June 1919. The Canadian government decided that a permanent peacetime air force was not needed and so both squadrons ceased operations: No. 1 Squadron on January 28, 1920, and No. 2 Squadron on February 5, 1920. Aircraft and associated equipment were sent back to Canada. The Directorate of Air Services was dissolved on 5 August 1920. </p><p>This Canadian Air Force was Canada's second attempt at creating a relatively independent air force, the first being the creation of the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Aviation_Corps" title="Canadian Aviation Corps">Canadian Aviation Corps</a> in 1914.
