[WWI] CAF /was: August Internet Modeler

[Michael Kendix]

Alright folks, don't have a whoopsy, please!  It's my fault.  I "edited" the 
piece.  I am the newest "Junior Editor" for Internet Modeler.  My goals upon 
joining IM were:

1. To help out Chris B-R and Matt Bittner because they are usually 
overwhelmed at the end of the month, the day before issuance.
2. Try and learn about web page software.

Anyhow, I was editing Bruce Simard's piece and he just wrote "CAF". Due to 
using my work-mode editorial practices, I generally don't like to use the 
initials until I have spelled them out once in the article because even 
though most of us know things like RAF or USAF, there may be some new people 
who don't. I did not pay close attention to the pictures, and didn't 
recognize it was in Canadian markings.  I have seen the Commemorative Air 
Force a number of times and thought that these were special markings for 
that organization.  I thought that the Canadian's air force was called the 
"Royal Canadian Air Force" but that might be just my antiquated thinking.

My apologies.

Michael
