Yeah, Norway trained several hundred pilots and airmen in Toronto. Pretty big operation. They used PT-19s and PT-26s, as well as Curtiss Hawks, Harvards and other aircraft. The PT-19 is an absolute delight to fly!

That last one would be a Caproni Ca.310, known as the "klippfiskbomber" ("klippfisk" is dried and salted fish. Also known as bacalao), because of a trade agreement between Norway and Italy.
