Historical note:
THE SWORD POINT OF CANADA'S AIRPOWER
During
WW II Canada played a vital role in the success of the Allied efforts
in overthrowing the Third Reich. This was illustrated during the Normandy
campaign by the devastating effect of Allied ground attack aircraft
upon the German panzer divisions that threatened to push through the
fragile Allied lines to the invasion beaches. The German tanks and
supply columns were ravaged by airpower with the Typhoon earning the
special respect of its enemies because of the hitting power of Typhoon
squadrons.
