Do Eurocopters use SAE or metric hardware?

Actually, the RCAF was larger than the RAAF at that time. The rankings would be 1) USA, 2) RAF, 3) USSR, 4) RCAF, and, probably, 5) RAAF. Of course, that dismisses the air forces of the Axis powers, as both Germany and Japan had more aircraft than the RAAF. BTW, it is possible that the USSR was number 2, but that information is not readily available.
