	Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: Consolidated PBY Canso
		Canso 9771 was one of 224 on strength with the RCAF from 25 August, 1941 to 26 April, 1962, although '771 was struck off strength on 21 December, 1944, well in advance of the retirement of the fleet.
		After the RAF, the RCAF was the next biggest user of the PBY Catalina, operating thirteen squadrons; five on the west coast, six on the east coast, and two overseas.
		Later Catalinas ordered by the RCAF and built to RCAF specifications were called Cansos, and during early 1942 Canadian Vickers began delivery of its first batch of Canso flying boats for the RCAF.

		The Consolidated Catalina and Canso were close cousins.
		The Canso was the true amphibious version of the design and therefore included a conventional undercarriage to allow for either water or land use.
		After World War II, the RCAF used Cansos for search and rescue, arctic survey and various transport operations.

	Consolidated Canso PBY
		During WW II, Boeing of Canada in Vancouver and Canadian Vickers of Montreal built 224 Canso 5A’s for the RCAF.
		The Canso equipped the majority of the RCAF’s bomber reconnaissance squadrons which provided convoy escort and anti-submarine patrols from bases in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec and Iceland, indeed the Canso was the RCAF’s major contribution to the Battle Of The Atlantic.
		On 24 June 1944, during the successful attack on U-1225, F/L Hornell’s Canso, No. 9754, was severely damaged by return fire from the submarine and ditched on the sea.
