The
Books . . .
If you have a keen interest in the aircraft finish and markings of either the Royal Canadian Air
Force (pre 1968) or the Canadian Armed Forces (post 1968) or the aircraft
operated by the Royal Canadian Navy from 1946 to 1968, then I strongly recommend
the following books.
These books are not a commercial venture - they are a hobby, with
copies sold to cover cost of printing.
