Introduction
The Royal Canadian Air Force, established on April 1st, 1924, is a Canadian based military organization that is responsible for the countries aerial based defences and assaults. The organization was created as a result of the rapid development of military aviation and the result of previous pilots who joined the Royal Flying Corps. Pilots such as Billy Bishop pioneered early Canadian air force development and established Canada as a capable country. From what was first a civil government organization created for civil aviation in the late 20s, it soon blossomed into a military based institution designed for military use. Throughout the 20th century, the RCAF has faced many obstacles and has gained a large amount of reputation for …show more content…
For instance, during the Great Depression, funds were heavily cut and hindered the growth of the organization but this was eventually solved due to economic growth in 1935. They have also played a massive part in Canadian cooperation with United States by becoming a trusted air force they could rely on during the Cold War.

The symbol used is seen with the actual Canadian fighter plane as that in itself should be able to quickly tell the viewer that the memorial commemorates Canada and it’s airforce. We hope that whoever looks at the memorial can instantly make a connection with just the model and if they get interested, they can always read the information provided. The text speaks about RCAF and it’s accomplishments and involvement within the war; arguably their most important role. We believe that knowledge of Canada’s greatest achievements is important to know and we want the viewer to be able to at least remember the
