AIRCRAFT COLOURS AND MARKINGS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ERA

Presentation JN-4 Canuck


As per other Commonwealth 'Presentation' aircaft, many Canucks were paid for by private parties and these Canucks wore the name of a Canadian city, town, battle from the War of 1812, and also some heroes of the same war. In some cases more than one aircraft carried the same name, this may be a reflection of the practice of keeping a name in circulation, or of more than one being paid for by a subscriber... Here is an ongoing list of Presentation Canucks with the payee included in brackets [].
