    9 the British Alliance of 1812–14

    9 The British Alliance of 1812–14 Chapter Outline This chapter examines the War of 1812 and, in particular, the role that Tecumseh had in this event. By the early 1800s, the intentions of the Americans were clear. The Americans were expanding, and it would be to the west where they would seek land. The War of 1812 can be viewed as a continu- ance of the American War of Independence, as this inconclusive war had left unresolved several im- portant matters, such as those relating to Indigenous Peoples and their lands. In a similar fashion to Obwandiyag, Tecumseh, a part-Shawnee and part-Cree leader, rose to the forefront as an advocate for a pan-Indigenous movement. Like Obwandiyag, Tecumseh was linked to a prophet. Tenskwa- tawa was known as the Shawnee Prophet and happened to be Tecumseh’s brother. Tenskwatawa argued that no particular tribe had the right to give up land as its own. Tecumseh had a particular disdain for Americans as both his father and brother were killed in US frontier wars. He chose to side with the British not because he favoured them but rather because he saw them as the lesser of two evils. Tecumseh challenged the cessions of lands that the Americans were obtaining, particularly those claimed in Indiana Territory. Throughout 1812 to 1813, Tecumseh led Indigenous forces to victory af- ter victory over the Americans. Tecumseh eventually met his demise at Moraviantown where, unsup- ported by British troops that had been promised, he was killed in October 1813. The death of Tecum- seh had immediate impacts since no leader could fill his role as a catalyst for a pan-Indigenous move- ment.

    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions.

Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449.
