IN ACTION SOON
CANADIAN AIR SQUADRONS
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, January 18.
The Secretary of Air, Sir Kingsley Wood, revealed today that squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force will soon be taking part in active operations in Europe.
Reviewing valuable contributions the Dominions have already made to the Allied air strength, he said, ''Our Imperial training scheme will undoubtedly provide the air forces of the Empire with facilities for training tens of thousands of keen young men as pilots and crews."
Seventeen cities and towns are represented among the 25 officers of the Army Co-operation Squadron of the Royal Civilian Air Force selected as the air force component of the first division of the Canadian Active Service Force. It will be recalled that a squadron of the Canadian Royal Air Force is already in training in Britain.
