FYI, In July of 1950, RCAF 426 Sqd. was detached to USAF MATS McChord AFB, (south of Tacoma, Washington), in support of the United Nations Korean War airlift effort.
Apropos of today's date, November 11th, Remembrance Day, over 500 Canadians died in the Korean Conflict. The Navy sent in 8 destroyers, (and a few exchange pilots to fly Panthers off the deck of USN Carriers). The Air Force supplied airlift support, (as well, a few fighter pilots were seconded to the USAF to fly Sabres over the Yalu). The Army sent in 8,500 troops.
