Canadian Military Aircraft Aircraft of the Canadian Armed Forces Serials And Photographs, 1968-1998

On 2 February 1968 all assets of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force were unified into the Canadian Armed Forces, which thus became the first modern defense force to be fully integrated on land, at sea, and in the air. Formed during the Cold War, the air element of the CAF was the largest component, with major commitments to both NORAD in North America and NATO in Europe, as well as a growing role in the protection of Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic. This book traces the history of aircraft on charge at the time of the reorganization. It also records aircraft acquired by the newly created Canadian Armed Forces, for the thirty years which have passed since unification. The fifteen aircraft types used in the CAF are listed, many with multiple listings, although aircraft purchased after unification did not under-go such registration changes. 90 pages of photographs include examples of each type of aircraft and of some types in their RCAF and CF registrations.Griffin, John A. is the author of 'Canadian Military Aircraft Aircraft of the Canadian Armed Forces Serials And Photographs, 1968-1998', published 0014 under ISBN 9781551250892 and ISBN 1551250896.
