       Piping up as a Canadian . . .
       If all the squadrons are RCAF then identifying them as Canadian
       seems appropriate.
       The whole manning business is a fraught issue for both the Navy
       and Air Force as many Canadians served (as Canadians) in HM
       ships and RAF units, while both the RN and the RAF had a
       tendency to want to fill senior positions, even in Canadian
       escort groups and RCAF units, with British officers.  By 1939
       the Canadian Army (which fought these "battles" in 1914-18) was
       much more "national" and had much more success in resisting
       British efforts to insert their own officers.
       My two cents :-)
