	Royal Air Force - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Tornado F.3 is the RAF's air defence fighter aircraft, based at RAF Leuchars and RAF Leeming to defend the UK’s airspace.
		Aircraft in development or soon to be deployed include the Airbus A400M, of which 25 are to be used to replace the remaining Hercules C-130Ks.
		Aircraft serving in the Far East during World War II had the red disc removed to prevent confusion with Japanese aircraft.

	Royal Canadian Air Force at AllExperts
		The RCAF played key roles in the Battle of Britain, antisubmarine warfare during the Battle of the Atlantic, the bombing campaigns against German industries, and close support of Allied forces during the Battle of Normandy and subsequent land campaigns in northwest Europe.
		The RCAF underwent further changes as its 1950s-era aircraft began to be retired and replaced with smaller numbers of second-generation aircraft (the CF-101 Voodoo armed with the AIR-2 Genie nuclear-armed air-to-air missile, and CF-104 Starfighter).
		By the late 1960s, the RCAF was actively involved in the aerial defence of Canada, North America, and Europe, as well as performing maritime coastal patrols on Canada's east and west coasts as part of anti-submarine operations, and finally, the RCAF was heavily involved with the USAF in operating radar early warning stations across Canada.

	FlightDeck Milestones: Avro Arrow
		Before giving the green light to Avro, the RCAF sent a top level evaluation team to assess all the countries in the Western alliance to find out if anyone was working on a craft that met their requirements.
		The Arrow was to be a twin-engined aircraft with a crew of two, a supersonic interceptor to destroy any enemy threat in the next decade or beyond, and was expected to fulfill a grueling performance specification issued by the RCAF in 1953.
		This daunting list of requirements, which can scarcely be exceeded by combat aircraft today, was the reason the Arrow was to be powered by enormous engines especially designed for it, and had to stow all missiles inside for maximum drag reduction.

	uboat.net - Fighting the U-boats - Aircraft - Consolidated PBY Catalina
		The PBY was jocularly described as the slowest combat aircraft of the war.
		Aircraft built by Boeing were known as the PB2B, those built by the Naval Aircraft Factory as the PBN, and those built by Vickers in Canada as the PBV.
		These aircraft were fitted with special retarding bomb racks, to make the bombs fall vertical, instead of travelling horizontal with the speed of the aircraft.

	[No title]
		The RCAF’s role in the between-wars period was primarily non-military, a unique circumstance among the world’s air forces.
		In the Royal Air Force Bomber Command, by 1943 the RCAF was able to field an entire Bomber group composed of 11 squadrons.
		Reactivated in 1950, the RCAF’s maritime patrol organization was also partially committed to NATO with long-range anti-submarine operations in the Atlantic region coming under the command of the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, in the event of an emergency.

	[No title]
		Some aircraft have "front end" calls (the flight crew) and "back end" calls (the staff operating at the positions in the back).
		It was always made very clear that no such list, and certainly not this one, could ever be considered as anything even close to a current snapshot of US military call usage, as such a snapshot is old before it hits the net.
		Similarly, most utility lists continue to show "Miami Monitor" on HF, despite the fact (which was originally published in my old RCMA column) that the National Hurricane Center (itself now the TPC) never even bothered to uncrate the HF radios when it moved, and now has only amateur presence there (W4EHW - Early Hurricane Warning).

	RCAF 5 digits
		After the RCAF reached the end of the 4 digit serial numbers, large scale procurement continued, to support the BCATP and the home defense squadrons.
		These aircraft were operated with their original US or UK serials, but began to receive unique RCN pennant numbers shortly after the war.
		Some of the overseas RCAF aircraft returned to Canada, notably Canadian built Lancasters and a few Dakotas, and continued to carry their RAF serial numbers in postwar RCAF service.

	Carolinas Aviation Museum - RCAF Douglas C-47 "Miss Piggy" Serial 43-49926
		On January 19th, 1945 the aircraft was transferred to the Royal Air Force, and it was assigned a serial number of KN258.
		During its time with the Royal Canadian Air Force, this aircraft was flown by 435/436 RCAF squadrons operating out of Tulihal and Manipur (Burma) in operations against the Japanese.
		After the war the aircraft continued to be used by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

	Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial Museum
		The RCAF Memorial Museum in Trenton, Ontario has been named by the Chief of the Air Staff as the National museum of the Air Forces of Canada; to be the major repository of heritage artifact's including the Colours and the Trust Funds of disbanded units.
		The RCAF Memorial Museum, as the official museum of the Air Forces of Canada, fulfills that mandate with its broad collection of personal and squadron memorabilia.
		The restoration of the Halifax is a major undertaking by the Halifax Aircraft Association, which is a dedicated group of volunteers who recovered NA 337 from a fjord in Norway.

		After the Aleutian campaign 111 Squadron was assigned to the European theater and redesignated 440 because the RAF already had a 111 squadron.The RAF base in Hurn England was the second station for the RCAF 440 in Europe.
		During WW2 large bomber aircraft were "ferryed" across the oceans to the various theaters of war.
		The 111 squadron was based at Pat Bay from the 15 of May 1940 to February 1st 1941.

	USAAS-USAAC-USAAF-USAF Aircraft Serial Numbers--1908 to Present
		Aircraft that are only temporarily transferred to the USAF from the Navy usually retain their Navy serial numbers even though painted in USAF markings, but it sometimes happens that aircraft loaned by the Navy are assigned brand-new USAF serials.
		Since military aircraft were at that time not expected to last more than ten years, the first digit of the fiscal year number was omitted in the tail number as was the AC prefix and the hyphen.
		In order to avoid confusion with later aircraft given the same tail number, these older aircraft had the prefix 0 and a dash added in front of the tail number to indicate that they were over 10 years old.

		Family legend had it that he was a pilot but he is listed as an air gunner, I therefore wondered if you would have access to any further information on him.
		Both he and his sister were close and both volunteered for RCAF (or I assume the WAAF in Phyllis's case) in an effort to stay close together during the War.
		He joined the RCAF in January '42 and following Gunnery training at #3 B/G he went overseas in January '43 and was posted to #100 Squadron where he completed his tour June-December, 1943.

	Ex Air Gunners: July 2001
		Talking about putting the aircraft down in the field, we came across what appeared to be a stream flowing through a field and our captain, Sgt. Stewart, made a decision that he was going to land in that field beside the stream.
		These aircraft had the mid-upper turret removed and were used to drop supplies to the underground in Norway, France and Holland.
		He was flying a borrowed aircraft — his own machine had not yet been fitted with the upward-firing cannon — and all he had to do was to slide beneath his victim and aim between the two port engines.

		Canadian Naval and Army Aviation are covered, since several aircraft employed by these Commands were RCAF birds and those they owned became Air Command assets after unification, so I thought it fitting to include them.

	US Navy and US Marine Corps Aircraft Serial Numbers and Bureau Numbers--1911 to Present
		In 1940, so many aircraft were being ordered as a result of President Franklin Roosevelt's rearmament program that it was found necessary to terminate the second series at 7303 in order to avoid confusion with aircraft having late numbers in the original series that were still in service.
		Fixed wing aircraft belonging to VAW squadrons have numbers 60X that are painted maroon, although they are fairly rarely used.
		Sometimes the aircraft are actually returned to active service, either as remotely-controlled drones or sold to friendly foreign governments, but most often they are scavenged for spare parts to keep other aircraft flying or are scrapped.

		Back in 1938, Kindelberger had visited the German aircraft factories of Heinkel and Messerschmitt and used what notes he took to help in setting up an extremely efficient production line.
