Template talk:Canadian Air Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I changed active since 1924 to active since 1975 because this article is only about Air Command, which was instituted on Sept. 2, 1975. Indeed, Canada's air force known as the Royal Canadian Air Force was active since 1924, but it disappeared in 1968. Air Command, although now "Canada's air force" is totally separate. If the article had been about Canada's air force (or forces), the article would need to include the RCAF and Air Command. However, it would probably also need to include the Canadian Aviation Corps (1918), the CAF (1918 - 1920), and the homefront CAF (1920 - 1924), in which case 1924 would still be incorrect. The template should probably be renamed to Canadian Forces Air Command, since the name "Canadian Air Force" seems to be causing this confusion. BC (talk) 17:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
