In what was named Operation LEAP FROG, the RCAF flew 11 squadrons equipped with F-86 Sabre aircraft from Canada across the North Atlantic to fill No. 1 Canadian Air Division. This operation lasted from 23 May 1952 – 7 September 1953. Altogether the RCAF had 12 F-86 squadrons serving with NATO. They would be among the best pilots in western Europe.
