translate English to French: "When the first squadron [Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) army co-operation squadron] went to Britain in early 1940," wrote Canada’s official historians, "it inevitably became embroiled in all the troubles which frustrated its RAF peers, in addition to those problems inherent in the broader picture of Anglo-Canadian cooperation."2 Airmen and soldiers did not work well together at the outset of the war, and Anglo-Canadian cooperation struggled on a number of practical and political levels.
Les auteurs de l’histoire militaire officielle du Canada racontent que « lorsque le premier escadron [escadron de coopération entre l’Armée et l’Aviation royale canadienne (ARC)] est arrivé en GrandeBretagne au début de 1940, il fut inévitablement mêlé à toutes les misères qui frustraient les escadrons de la Royal Air Force en plus de connaître les problèmes inhérents au tableau plus large de la coopération anglo-canadienne »2.
