A project by Jan-Hendrik, Bernd R and Dmitrij2

Most Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regimenter were formed from the old Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilungen on 1.4.39 (becoming Stab and I. Abt. of the new unit). The commander of the new Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment, and was at the same time, commander of the I. Ausbildungs-Abteilung:
Luftflotte 1: Rgt 10, 11, 21, 31, 41, 51. 61, 71
Luftflotte 2: Rgt.12, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82
Luftflotte 3: Rgt.13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63
Luftflotte 4: Rgt.14, 24
The Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment was each to have 3 Abteilungen:
I. Abt from the old Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung (1. - 5. kp.)
II. Abt. new (6. - 10. kp.)
III. Abt. was the Flugzeugführerschule A/B that was attached (Schule)
This plan had not been implemented by 1.9.39, and all Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regimenter still only had the I. Abteilung.
At mobilisation (26.8.39) the following units were formed:
Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 16 from Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung 16 (no Schule attached)
Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 26 from Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilung 26 (no Schule attached)
Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 22
the II. Abteilung in all Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regimenter
the Flugzeugführerschulen A/B that were attached to the regiments became known as Schule/Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment, and functioned as the III. Abt of the regiment.
In 10.41/11.41 the Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regimenter were renamed Flieger-Regimenter, and most moved outside Germany for garrison duties. The Schule (Flugzeugführerschulen A/B) became independent and remained in Germany.
Most Flieger-Regimenter were used to form the Luftwaffen-Feld-Divisionen in 1942.
