1946 so small most people didn't know it existed. The joys of war buildup and then demob. But yes Canada's contribution to convoy protection, especially, was huge.

Things have eroded slightly since then...

RONCOS in action. Team of T-6G planes trying to silence AA under cover of burning in Mata do Cantanhez, Southern Guinea. It was in this forest where I spent nine months of my commission. Cerrado, dark and of equatorial characteristics. (Photo taken from the book The Battle of Quitafine, José Nico, General Pilot Aviator, page 79, Guinea, 67/70.

Oh, my! I looked at 19910 and said, "That can't be a Portuguese Harvard dropping bombs. Harvards might have worked as fighters (in a pinch), but they were never bombers!"

You're right. I did miss a bunch of pages there, driving back and forth to the cancer clinic. That little drama now seems to be over (in my favour, no less!) so now I can keep up with......
Portuguese Harvards dumping bombs on bad guys?
Much more interesting!
Thank you!

Stay well, as much as you are able to. I'll strive to dig up more interesting(?) little tidbits, like the M5 A1 Stuart tanks used in Angola. I posted a Video by Rita Sobral in "Video of the Day" on page 28.
