Welcome to RCAF.Info
Your dashboard for RCAF Research on the World Wide Web
This site was established in June of 2021. I am still adding information on pretty much a daily basis, though I never really know where the development is taking place. I have continued building the publications section and there are now over 2300 separate historical publications available for download. I am continuing to build out the pages for the individual stations with links to research materials and continue researching this fascinating area of Canadian History.
I am also involved with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and their CASPIR (Canadian Aircraft Serials, Personnel Information Resource) Project. I am always willing to answer questions dealing especially with Second World War Air Force Training (BCATP) in Canada.
I have decided against adding a contact form on the site but can be contacted via facebook. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada Group or the RCAF.Info groups are great groups that I monitor. Also feel free to add a comment in the comment section that should be available on all pages on the site.
Thank you for joining me on this voyage of discovery.

Wow, I am writing a biography of my father W/O Air gunner, and I just found this treasure. He was at Jarvis, Regina, Winnipeg, then served his tour of duty (419, 405 OTU 22), and returned as instructor in Brantford and Mont-Joli. This website is amazing!
Hi Gary,
I have quite a bit of material about Jarvis if you’re interested, drop me a line. [email protected] .

Hi, very impressive site! I wanted to ask if I could have permission to use a photo: it would be the one of the back of the historic plaque for the No.4 Bombing and Gunnery School, Fingal. I’m doing an entry for the plaque at the Historic Marker Database, and neglected to take one Thanks!
Hi,
Was wondering if you (or anyone readinf this) had any further info on Halifax aircraft EQ-J. One of my relatives survived the downing of this plane.
