CAF Warbird Tube - Americans in the RCAF
from CAF Warbird Tube · host Commemorative Air Force
Before the U.S. entering WWII, many Americans felt they needed to do something to defend freedom. Joining the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal Air Force (RAF) was a way to do that. Around 9,000 U.S. citizens volunteered for service with the RAF and RCAF; their service was a significant contribution to the war effort. Unfortunately, these brave individuals and their story is largely forgotten. Please join us in honoring the RCAF and RAF Americans.
