No.5 Squadron RAF.

I served with 5 Squadron on the North West Frontier and during the Burma campaign and would draw attention to the following errors contained in the history of the Squadron.

At the outbreak of the war in the Far East the Squadron was equipped with Hawker Audax, a variant of the Hart and used specifically for army co-operation work.

The Squadron was never a Canadian squadron. The maple leaf insignia on the Squadron crest was awarded by King George V after the first world war in recognition of the Squadron's close support to the Canadian forces on the Western Front.
