RCAF 100 - Celebrating the centennial of the Royal Canadian Air Force

On the wings of a burgeoning aviation culture of hinterland stick jockeys, airmail pilots and high-flying adventurers, the Royal Canadian Air Force emerges from 100 years of war and peace as a respected, if not feared, hunter, protector and humanitarian presence in troubled skies the world over. The fascinating story of the RCAF is one of passion, perseverance and promise.

It makes me proud to have worn the airforce blue uniform and been a small part of such a great service to our country. The youth we trained have gone on to fulfill their aspirations and our hope for their futures. Good work all.

Why spend so much time on the false starts, instead of focusing on the accomplishments?

Here's 13 minutes of my life I'll never get back. In my opinion, apart from laying blame to the politicians and high brass this is pure junk . I expected a lot more history.

*GREAT !!!!* After the Battle of Britain in 1940 ..... a numerous Polish very experienced fighter pilots were sent from UK to Canada, to train young Canadian Fly Boys to fly and combat in the air. Some of those Poles worked hard in the Oshawa Municipal Airport as instructors. Today @ the Oshawa, Ontario, small City Airport.... there is NO even a small memory or the recognition at all for their involvement in training Canadian aviators during the World War II ... That's too bad !!!!
