"Ed Majden"
When did this change take place? During WWII I'm sure some Yanks must
have enlisted in the RAF before the U.S. entered the war. 303 RAF
Squadron
was manned by Poles. A lot of Americans came up to Canada and joined the
RCAF. The reverse was true during the Vietnam war. Many Canadians
enlisted
in the U.S. forces.

When the Arrow was cancelled moral was low in the RCAF. I phoned a USAF
recruiter in Detroit to enquire about the USAF. I was told I would have to
come down to the USA if I was interested. I asked if my service in the RCAF
would be given recognition. The recruiter stated that it wouldn't but
previous training would probably help after adjusting to USAF methods. I
did not take him up on the offer but stayed with the RCAF/CAF until
retirement.
