Canadian Pacific in Postcards June 2024 At the end of WW II, airlines were springing up like dandelions, spurred on by the availability of surplus C-47s, and the rapidly growing travel market. The Canadian Pacific Railroad  had begun air service in 1942, by acquiring a number of small "bush" operators in western Canada, and by 1945 was expanding with C-47 equipment. But in 1949 Canadian Pacific was awarded rights to serve Australia and the Far East , which prompted the acquisition of 4 Argonaut aircraft, or as Canadian Pacific described them "North Stars". While Government owned Trans Canada was protected, Canadian Pacific pioneered new international services, including the first polar routes to Europe. CP Air was acquired by Pacific Western in 1987, forming Canadian Airlines, which ultimately was acquired by Air Canada. Following are cards illustrating the diverse fleet of the airline that became "Canadian" Album by John Schmidt. 1 - 61 of 61 Total. 654 Visits.
