No. 6 Group RCAF
No. 6 Group RCAF oversaw the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) heavy bomber squadrons in Europe during the Second World War, between 1942 and 1945. The group operated out of airfields in Yorkshire, England. There was technically no 6 Group RAF during the Second World War, although a unit by that name had been previously active in the RAF, in: 1918; 1924–26, and 1936–39 (when it was a training unit).〔("Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation, Group No's 1 - 9." ) ''rafweb.org/Grp01''. Retrieved: 19 February 2010.〕
The group was made up of Article XV squadrons: RCAF units formed under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, for service with British operational formations; hence No. 6 Group was part of Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command. However, a significant number of personnel from the RAF, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and other Allied air forces were attached to 6 Group during the war.
==Formation==
Canadian bomber squadrons began participating in the war effort in 1941 and were attached to RAF Bomber Command groups. Canada, however, wanted its own identifiable presence in Allied air operations overseas, and it did not want its air force to be merely a source of manpower for the Royal Air Force. To this end, 6 (RCAF) Group was formed on 25 October 1942 with eight squadrons.
At the peak of its strength, 6 Group consisted of 14 squadrons. Fifteen squadrons would eventually serve with the group, which was almost every RCAF heavy bomber squadron.〔 Headquarters for 6 Group was at Allerton Park near Knaresborough and Harrogate in North Yorkshire.
