The decision to form the Slavic-British Legion was made on June 14, 1918. The Legion was to become the basis of the White Guard forces in the North in the summer of 1918, despite the fact that the first clause of the contract with the recruits was Britain's non-interference in the internal affairs of Russia.
At the suggestion of the British Colonel Mound, the Slavic-British Aviation Corps was formed under the leadership of the famous Russian aviator-officer A. A. Kazakov, who received the rank of lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. On August 15, 1918 Arkhangelsk Kazakov formed the 1st Slavic-British Aviation Detachment. The detachment was based at Obozerskaya station 123 versts south of Arkhangelsk. The detachment included both Russian and British pilots (in particular, the De Havillands DH.9 division under the command of Captain Robinson). On September 11, 1918, the 2nd Slavic-British Aviation Detachment was formed under the command of Captain Belousovich.
