: Which book are you referring to? 'Griffin' book?

We are referring to "Canadian Military Aircraft Photos and Serials" by John A. Griffin. It was published in 1968, and it may only have been intended for use as a research aid as I may have heard that only 100 copies were printed. So if you can get your hands on one buy it! It lists serials of RCAF aircraft up to around 1968. There is the sequential serial series, but also; RAF, USAAF and USN taken on strength by the RCAF but not reserialed. There are some gaps around the mid-1960s when airframes were taken on strength. For example the original Canadair Tutor serials are not listed.
