On 1/9/39 the RCAF had 4,000 personnel, 8 Regular squadrons comprised of two general purpose, two general reconnaissance, one fighter, one bomber, one torpedo- bomber, and one army co-operation squadrons. The Auxiliary Force consisted of 12 squadrons including four fighter, four bomber, two army co-operation, and two coast artillery co-operation. The RCAF had a total of 270 Aircraft of 20 assorted types.
My question is how many of these aircraft were in operational squadrons as opposed to training units?

Thanks,

Neil
