CanMilAir Decals is a home-based business formed in 2005 in London, Ontario, to produce after-market waterslide decals for scale models of Canadian military aircraft with full-size vinyl projects starting in 2006. Between 2005 and 2018, when the waterslide decal production ceased, CanMilAir filled over 4,000 orders containing more than 11,000 decal sets to over 2,100 customers in 40 countries. The catalogue of Canadian decals reached 675 items covering 137 types and were available in 54 different scales.

On April 1, 2017, my first book was published titled "Canadian Cold Warriors", examining the unique unit and squadron-level markings applied to the Avro CF-100 Canuck throughout its service life. The first printing sold out in 20 months! Having established a reputation as a specialist in the national insignia used on Canadian military aircraft and with over 50 vintage aircraft refinished, I was invited to assume an Associate Historian position with the Office of RCAF History and Heritage.

CanMilAir Decals has always been dedicated to the memory of my father - a combat veteran of the Great War, serving with the 46th Battalion at Arras, Lens, Hill 70 and Passchendaele. He transferred into the Royal Flying Corps in February 1918 and would learn to fly the Sopwith Camel. During the Second World War he served as a civilian instructor for the Link Trainer and taught Ground School courses at #20 EFTS Oshawa, from June 1940 until November 1944, logging 4,234.25 hours of Link instruction. FYI, the small Poppy you see on most of my printed material is in his memory. Lest We Forget.
