Does Canada have access to Commonwealth aircraft pool?

[Dili]

Just that question.

According to an article that appeared in the paper in Ottawa in 1943 the only aircraft produced in Canada for the war effort were the Avro Lancaster, the Dehaviland Mosquito, the PBY-5A, and the Curtis dive-bomber (not exactly sure what plane this is). So it would seem that most Canadian aircraft were American types at least after Dec 1941. So other than the aforementioned types it would seem the only aircraft they used of English manufacture was the Hurricane (which then had to be shipped West from England.

I meant the game code, if the Canada nationality in game can access the Commonwealth pool.

[Trugrit]

No. The draw is by national pool.
A Commonwealth aircraft pool does not exist in the game.

Aircraft availability is abstracted from production into the national draws.
Britain and Canada both get Liberators but they are in separate national pools.

Note: In the game there are no aircraft factories in the United Kingdom.

Caveat: the scenario I'm currently playing lets a Canadian squadron draw from the Martlet (Wildcat) pool that the British Fleet Air Arm squadrons also draw from. So you *can* set Canadian squadrons to draw from a 'non-Canadian' pool.

In fact, I believe you can set any squadron to draw from any pool using the editor.

Thanks Trugrit

Yes i am aware of that Gridley. Implies the next model must be from a specific pool.
