The history of Canadian inventions has followed an extensive and honourable path. Canadian inventors have patented more than one million inventions yet not many people can identify one or even two Canadian inventors, which is why it is essential people know about them. Canada is a country full of inventions but we do not seem to know it. ... Just some of Canada’s inventions include: basketball, g-suits (anti-gravity suits), machine lubricators, the steam engine, the light bulb, colour T. ... In the following report, the subject of the Canadian involvement in World War Two will be explained and some of the important inventions and improvements made during the war that helped to change Canada’s technology and make it what Canada is today. We cannot live without some of these inventions so it is vital people know about the inventors and be able to appreciate what people from our very own home of Canada have contributed to North America and the world. As author Roy Mayer says about Canadian inventors: “Our innovators have given novelty, variety, and colour to our lives with their great practical gifts, and the world would be an exceedingly boring grey place without their vitality.”
During the war, some of the many improvements Canada made was in their aircraft. ... Some of the Wasps made earlier were used in Canadian Bush Planes such as the Fairchild, Bellanca Pacemaker, and the Boeing Totem. During the Second World War, the Wasp Junior was used in a lot of the civil and military aircraft, which included the Avro Anson Mk V, Beechcraft Expediter and Fairchild 82. ... It was known as one the planes that helped Canada’s aviation reputation increase during the time it needed it the most, during World War II. ... The Mosquito was so successful that the years following the war, many of the Mosquito’s were in use for the exclusive use of photo surveying. Finally, the aircraft Hurricane was another one of the great airplanes that was manufactured and improved by Canadians during World War II. The Royal Canadian Air Force first used the Hurricanes in August 1939. ... Hurricanes were also used in Canada for training and coastal patrols and served Britain and Canada till the end of the war. ... Improvements in aircraft during World War II were also so great that even after the war, there was a steady flow of government funding for flight research development. During the late 1940’s, airline engineers worked to improve jet engines built during World War II, because of the commercial aircraft improvements during this time, it has also been known as the jet age. ... htm)
During the war there were also improvements made in things like radar.
