Description
From a small beginning of fewer than two thousand, the Royal Canadian Air Force expanded to a magnificent force of over two hundred thousand in the Second World War.
Their accomplishments in that war, and in the peacetime years that followed, are recorded here—the squadrons and their commanders, the squadron aces and squadron victories, the aircraft they flew, and the bases they operated from. A narrative account of Canadian military aviation from its beginnings to 1968 provides a framework for the detailed presentation of squadron histories, including their wealth of information on badges, chronology, commanders, higher formations, squadron locations, representative aircraft, and operational history.
The 460 photographs of R.C.A.F. aircraft from its beginnings to 1968 show the actual aircraft flown by each squadron. This book is thus an extraordinary blend of fact and photography, a unified record of the squadrons and the aircraft of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
