Partners in the Cold War: the Royal Canadian Air Force

Jets like this one served as interceptors: they defended the nation's borders against aerial attack. But although they were designed for our Air Force, American aerospace companies also supplied our allies. F-101s (designated CF-101s) were the primary air defense for the Royal Canadian Air Force for over 20 years. In the Voodoo, Canadian pilots intercepted Soviet planes testing North American defenses.
