Hugh,
Regarding the Kosovo situation you mentioned, Canada, I believe had a squadron or so of CF-18's in action for the campaign. I didn't get a chance to see the AIR FORCE magazine articles, but could you briefly tell us just exactly what awards were given to Canadians?
I thought I read somewhere that there were very few gongs - perhaps a MSC for the CO, and a couple of MID's, but I'm really not sure. Again, it would be interesting to see what a similar USAF or USN squadron earned. I gather that the US still dishes out Air Medals,etc relatively lavishly.
