The Air Force build-up is part of a 5 -billion dollar, three-year scheme for expanding Canada's defence forces, In addition to providing for aerial defence of North America proper, it provides for substantial contributions to collective security, both in the form of actual fighting units stationed abroad' and training aid here in Canada. Built-up Result of Planning The rapid build-up of the RCAF is a tribute to the soundness, of Service planning and organization during the post-war years, Dur- ing those years the RCAF found itself faced with the job of re- building the Service along the lines of a permanent, peacetime force, The entire training scheme had to be set up along new lines, and a construction program to provide modern, operational air- fields, married quarters and other facilities had to be commenced. The task was to lay a solid foundation, capable of bearing the weight of a large organization should the day come when it was required and possible. At the same time the work of building up a nucleus force within the re- aSources available, had to be done, and also of carrying out numer- ous and heavy peacetime com- mitments, such as the photo sur- vey and search and rescue opera- tions. Today the foundation is there, and on it is rising an RCAV- sev- eral times the size of the Force immediately planned after the war's end. Large contracts have been placed for new, Canadian - built jet fighters and large num- bers of wartime aircraft have been removed from storage. Contracts are being placed as quickly as pos- sible to speed up the RCAF pro- gram of new operational and training sites. New squadrons are being formed as quickly as aircraft can be obtained, and tak- ing form also is the radar early warning and ground control sys- tem vital to successful fighter de- fence operations against enemy bombers. RCAF,personnel personnel strength stan- ds today at approximately 37,000. Two Canadian Jets Being produced in Canada for the RCAF are two of the world's finest jet fighters, the F-86 Sabre and the, CF -100 Canuck. The Sabre, in front-line service with the USAF and proving its worth in Korea, is being built for the RCAF by Canadair Ltd. of Montreal, and is already in opera- tional use by RCAF Fighter squadrons, both in Canada anti overseas. The Sabre is the RCA - F's standard day fighter, replac- ing the Vampire III jet. The Canuck, an all -Canadian development, is being produced for the RCAF by A. V. Roe Can- ada Ltd., of Mallon, Ont. A two- seater, powered by two Orenda jet engines, the Canuck is design- ed to serve as an all-weather, long-range fighter, and is particu- ularly suited to Canadian condit- ions. The Orenda jet engine is also produced by A. V. Roe Can- ada. The Harvard trainer—a single engine piston -driven aircraft for basic pilot training—is being built in Canada and production is to start on the T-33, a jet trainer for conversion to jet type aircraft. Maritime Squadrons Increased Main emphasis by the RCAF is being placed ,on interceptor force - es, and the majority of the 41 squadrons planned for the Regular and Reserve Forces are to be fighter squadrons. Also being in- creased is the number of Maritime Squadrons, whose duties include coastal patrol work and general naval co-operation operations. Present plans do not call for maintenance of a strategic bomb- ing force, although the Service is keeping abreast of developments in this field, Present extensive transport services are being main- tained. The RCAF is working closely with the United States Air For- ce in general plans for defence of the North American continent, with much resultant standardiz- ation of equipment and procedur- es. In addition, the RCAF expan- sion plans are tied in closely with overall plans for collective sec- urity. Collective Security Canada's contributions to collec- tive security have already taken concrete shape, and are slated for further expansion. Aircrew from other NATO nations began ar- riving in Canada for pilot and navigation training by the RCAF towards the end of 1950, and the first wings parades of these trainees were field in May and June of 1951. More than 1300 student pilots and navigators from Britain, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France and Italy are taking training at RCAF flying schools. Wings have been given to more than 500 such trainees from abroad. Canada has offered to train NATO air- crew at the rate of 1400 a year. Overall aircrew training plans, including RCAF requirements to- gether with aircrew from abroad being trained here, call for more than 3000 personnel to be under training annually. Training of this number of aircrew requires additional flying schools. These schools have been coming into being on the Prairies during the last year and a half. Division For NATO In addition to training assis- ance, the RCAF is providing an air division, containing 12 fighter squadrons, for the Integrated NATO Force in Europe, One RC- AF fighter squadron, No. 421, spent most of 1951 in the United Kingc1 m, taking operational training with the RAF. The first unit of the 12 -squadron force pro- per, No. 410 Squadron, left Cana- da in late 1951, and became the first squadron of No. 1 RCAF Fighter Wing at North Luffen- ham, in England, A second fight - squadron, . No. 441, joined the Wing in the Spring of this year. The third squadron, 439 made the Atlantic crossing by air to join 410 and 441 in June 1952, A sec- ond wing of three squadrons, 421, 430 and 416 Squadrons completed a mass flight in October, 1952, to Gros Tenquin, France, to become the first RCAF Fighter Wing to be based on the continent since the Second World War. Six additional squadrons are scheduled to fly their aircraft across the ocean by 1954, and will be based on the Continent, where the RCAF is to have four air bas- es. In addition, the RCAF has formed an Air Materiel Base in England, at Langer, not far from North Luffenham. This base will provide logistical support for the fighter squadrons in Europe. Thunderbirds, 400 Trips Still going strong on the Korea airlift, after over two years dis- tinguished operations on this task is the RCAF's 426 Transport Squadron. This squadron, known unofficially as the Thunderbird squadron, began flyin the airlift on July 27, 1950. Since then it has made notable contributions to the UN effort against aggression flying troops and material between the West Coast and Japan. 426 Squad- ron has flown over 10,000 person- nel across the Pacific, ' and has carried more than 5 million pounds of material and mail. The big four -engine North Stars have made over 400 round trips, spend- ing more than 27,000 hours in the air. When the squadron began the airlift it moved from its home base at Dorval, P.Q. to McChord Air Force Base, near Tacoma, Wash., taking with it its own ground Brew and servicing equip- ment. Ground detachments were placed at points along the route, ranging from bleak, fog -shrouded Shemya, in the .Aleutians to sun- ny Hickam, Air Force Base in I3awaii, The Squadron has since moved back to Dorval, and contin- ues to fly the airlift from there, using McChord as a loading point and utilizing its run between Dor- val and the American west coast base for RCAF transport purpos- es. On completion of its first year on the lift, the squadron was presented by the US Military Air Force Service, under whose oper- ational control it carries out its airlift duties, with a silken MATS flag and was praised by US of- ficials for the splendid job it has done on the Korea run, Policy Direction Organization changes have tak- en place as the RCAF expansion continues, bringing about a great- er degree of purely functional control within the Service. This is a natural and desirable change as the size of the Force increases, Overall policy direction comes from Air Force Headquarters in Ottawa, and is carried down to squadron and station level by field formations. Implementation of training activities, which have increased tremendously, is the re- sponsibility of Training Command, with headquarters at Trenton, Ont. A subordinate Training Group, with headquarters at Win- nipeg, has direct control of new flying training schools opened on the Prairies. Significant of the growing im- portance of the air force's fighter system was the raising to com- mand of what was formerly Air Defence Group, with headquarters at St, Hubert, outside Montreal. Now known as .Air Defence Com- mand, the formation is responsi- ble for activities of the RCAF's aerial defence system, which in- cludes not only the actual fighter squadrons, but also the complex and far-flung web of radar early warning and ground control stat- ions being constructed. Maritime squadrons, whose job it is to handle Naval co-operation duties, including submarine detec- tion, reconnassance and convoy patrols, are directed by Maritime Group, which has its headquarters at Halifax. Transport operations are directed by Air Transport Command, which moved its head- quarters from Rockcliffe, just out- side Ottawa, to Lachine, near Montreal, in August 1951. The complex task of supply and main- tenance within the Service is handled by. Air Materiel. Com- mand, whose many depots across Canada are directed from its Ot- tawa headquarters. Tactical Air Group, whose head- quarters are in Edmonton, is re- sponsible for offensive and trans- port support operations .and train, ing, and for search and rescue .op - !orations and training in the area, in addition to other associated duties. No. 12 Air Defence Group, headquarters of which are in Van- couver, has numerous duties, a.- inong which is to handle air de- fence operations and training in the area. Chief Of Air Staff Fro*n Toronto Chief of the Air Staff is Air Marshall W. D. Curtis, CB, CBE, DSC, ED, a veteran of the First World War who commanded a Wing of the Auxiliary Air Force at theoutbreak of the Second World War. He won the Disting- uished Service Cross and Bar as a fighter pilot with the Royal Naval Air Service in the 1914-18 war. Following that war's end he ser- ved with the Toronto Scottish on a Resei-ve basis, and is the only Canadian Chief of staff ever to have served in the three Armed Services. Air Marshal Curtis comes from Toronto, Beservie Units The rapidly expanding Regular Force is backed by a growing Re- serve which includes both squad- rons engaged on flying operations and ground training units.
