Depends upon the country (nation). Example (for ground units): During the Vietnam War, an Australian tank regiment of Centurion tanks was equal to a US Army battalion; an Australian tank Squadron was equal to a US Army tank company. So, for US air units, (during the Viet War) a squadron was about 15 to 18 aircraft, with normally about 12 of those being airworthy during any 24 hour time period.

The major flaw or the weakness of the navy Mussolini built was the lack of an aircraft carrier.

What was the aircraft used to shoot down the V 1 during World War 2?
Only a few Allied aircraft had the low altitude speed to destroy V-1s. The Hawker Tempest was the most effective, between June and September 1944 destroying 638 of 1846 destroyed by aircraft. Anti-aircraft artillery (firing the previously highly secret proximity-fused shells) and barrage balloons accounted for the balance of the total of 4,261 destroyed. There were only a handful of Tempests in service, but the total was built up to about one hundred by September, all operating with 150 Wing. Number 3 Squadron of the Wing claimed 305 destroyed. Squadron Leader Joseph Berry of 501 Squadron destroyed 59 V-1s, and Wing Commander Roland Beaumont destroyed 31. During the short summer nights of 1944 the Tempests shared the duty with night-fighting de Havilland Mosquitoes, which destroyed a further 428 V-1s. By September some P-51 Mustangs and Griffon-engined Spitfire XIVs had been tuned up for low altitude speed and destroyed 232 and 303 V-1s respectively. Though not yet fully operational the jet-powered Gloster Meteor was rushed into service with Number 616 Squadron to fight the V-1s. It had ample speed but its cannon were prone to jamming and Meteors destroyed only 13 V-1s.
