In 1943, the RCAF strength and equipment consists of 32 overseas squadrons based in England. Two fundamental missions were essential to the Allied air strategy: night bombing and interdiction. While bombers struck at the heart of occupied Europe, the German war machine reacted by sending out supplies to their far-flung European bases by rail. The RCAF disrupted the "nerve centres" by attacking the rail system. These specialized ground attack fighters were extremely successful, with fighter-bombers destroying munition trains.

Starting in England in 1943, Royal Canadian Air Force Spitfire fighter Wings that belong to the RAF Second Tactical Air Force (2TAF) were preparing for deployment to overseas bases. Using the fast and agile Spitfire in a number of different Marks, the 2TAF aircraft provided close air support as well as engaging the Luftwaffe in aerial combat. The Spitfire Wings "played an essential part in a swift-moving, deadly striking air force." The success of the RCAF Spitfire units was due to both aircrew and ground crew that not only set up the tactical airfields but kept the aircraft serviced. The first group sets up in Italy, then other wings are attached to the units committed to the Normandy campaign, with temporary bases established in France, Belgium and Germany from 1944 to 1945. In the last months of the Second World War, 2TAF begin to relax as their missions come to an end.

Women in the RCAF, or WDs as they were called, were clerks, drivers, photographers, air photo interpreters, weather observers, instrument mechanics, parachute riggers as well as many administrative and technical positions in the RCAF. While most WDs were located at British Commonwealth Air Training Plan stations across Canada, many others served overseas with RCAF Overseas Headquarters and
