Just off the top of my head, those CAM Hurri pilots hated the assignment and were reassigned after one round trip of the North Atlantic. Mostly due to flying time, or lack of action thereof (Battle Of Britain or eating bad food that you'll puke up from seasickness on a UK Merchant Marine vessel). There were two dozen or so catapult ships, half were sunk from U-boats, I think only two pilots were killed in action, one had a drunk chief engineer that catapulted him into the ocean never to be seen again, the other died when his ship was torpedoed. They never scored a single Condor kill, which was the whole point.

Not going to disagree with the brass balls though.

Brass balls, indeed. 😎

You may want to reevaluate your comment, above. My sources tell a different story... Of nine combat launches, eight enemy aircraft were downed, one damaged... at a cost of eight Hurricanes and two pilots.
 
Post WW2 the skies in Canada were a zoo.

There were Chipmunks, Foxmoth's, Tiger Moth's, Mosquitoes and even Dragon's that flew.

Otter's and even Caribou. all made by De Havilland, that motley crew.

But the best one was the Beaver, the DHC-2...

In September 1919, May Aeroplanes was hired by Edmonton Police Chief Hill during their manhunt for John Larson, wanted on two counts of murder (including of a police officer)[8] and a break-in. May flew Edmonton Police Detective James Campbell to the small town of Edson, and Larson was caught soon thereafter. This was the first time an aircraft was used in a manhunt.

In early 1932, May was involved in another manhunt, this time for Albert Johnson, soon known as the "Mad Trapper of Rat River." While serving a search warrant for illegal trapping on the Rat River, Constable King of the RCMP was shot and wounded by Johnson, sparking off a long chase that became front-page news across the continent. Johnson killed Constable Edger Millen. May was again hired to see if he could find Johnson, who had seemingly disappeared. On February 13, May solved the mystery when he noted a set of footprints leading off from caribou tracks in the middle of the frozen river. Johnson had been following their tracks to hide his own, but had to strike off the path to set up camp at night. Following the trail over the next few days, the RCMP rounded a bend on the river on February 17 to find Johnson in the middle of the trail again, unable to dodge for the bank without his snowshoes on. A firefight broke out during which one of the RCMP officers was seriously wounded and Johnson killed. May arrived just after the action ended. He landed beside the injured officer and flew him 125 miles (201 km) to a doctor and was credited with saving his life.

With the start of the Second World War, it was decided that Canada would become the major trainer for RAF pilots from the British Commonwealth. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan set up airfields across Canada, and May became the commander of the No.2 Air Observer School in Edmonton, as well as supervisor of all the western schools.

While this was going on, the United States was also ferrying huge numbers of aircraft to the Soviet Union, flying through Edmonton on their way. A number of these crashed due to mechanical problems, in which case there was no way for an injured pilot to get out of the "back country". It was decided to form a team of parachute jumpers that could be dropped in on the crash sites to stabilize the injured pilots and start moving them out of the bush. May was involved in this effort.

Early efforts were comical but dangerous, but the US trained a number of jumpers at a smokejumper school in Montana, and it was not long before the Para-Rescue team was in service. Several additional Para-Rescue teams were set up during the war, and by the time the war ended, the value of these teams had been recognized. They were soon re-organized into their own command within the Canadian military, Search and Rescue. For his work in search and rescue, May was awarded the Medal of Freedom, with Bronze Palm in 1947 by the United States Army Air Forces.

In 1932, James A. Richardson's Canadian Airways received (Werknummer 4006) CF-ARM, the sixth ever-built Ju 52/1m. The aircraft, first re-fitted with an Armstrong Siddeley Leopard radial engine and then later with a Rolls-Royce Buzzard, a scaled up version of the Kestrel motor, and nicknamed the "Flying Boxcar" in Canada, could lift approximately three tons and had a maximum weight of 7 tonnes (8 tons). It was used to supply mining and other operations in remote areas with equipment too big and heavy for other aircraft then in use. The Ju 52/1m was able to land on wheels, skis or floats (as were all Ju 52 variants).

The InterWebz have so much bad info...

The WCAM replica I believe is a Spanish, CASA-built Junkers. It's pretty damned impressive, "in person", regardless of its origins.

Two nice posts, Lads! :cool:
 
One of the few regrets I have is that I never really pushed when I was younger to become a fighter pilot. Lol later in life, I did the Air Combat thang with a buddy...really should be a bucket list item for any aviation nut.

(not me, but flavour is the same)
