摘要

A shortage of aircraft suitable for coastal patrol duties gave RCAF commanders cause for concern at the start of World War Two. New types were evaluated, but a stop-gap solution was needed - army co-operation Westland Lysanders stepped into the breach. Patrols over the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Nova Scotia were flown by 118 Squadron during the latter months of 1939. Fg Off J W St Pierre flew the last such sortie in Lysander Ⅱ 423 on April 27, 1940. The unit was then split to form a number of Coastal Artillery Co-operation (CAC) detachments - 1 CAC at St John, New Brunswick, 2 CAC at Dartmouth to cover the approaches to Halifax and 3 CAC from Patricia Bay, British Columbia, on the west coast, taking on the role from 111 Squadron. Later 4, 5 and 6 CAC detachments were formed at Sydney, Nova Scotia, Torbay, Newfoundland, and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, respectively. As enemy activity increased, the veteran aircraft were armed with a depth charge or an anti-submarine bomb carried on each undercarriage-mounted stub wing.
