[80 years ago today[ "• “Little Norway” is established in southern Ontario. Officially titled Royal Norwegian Air Force Training Camp, it is initially equipped with thirty-six Fairchild PT-26 trainers and thirty-five Curtiss H75 fighters that were purchased by Norway but not yet delivered by time of the German invasion. The latter will be utilized as advanced trainers. More than 2,500 Norwegian aircrew will train at the camp before being posted to Norwegian RAF squadrons. "
