During my teenage years & into my early adult years, I studied a lot about WWII. At that time, my knowledge was fairly extensive.

However, I am ashamed to say that one of my favourite studies was of the "Dambusters Raid", & after watching a DVD documentary on it last night, found that 29 Canadians took part.

Does Canada have any memorials to the members of the RCAF & RAF(Canadian Branch) & if so, where are they located?
