I have the only RCAF Fordson N Tractor left that hauled bombs to the planes during the war .It was brought to Edmonton AB after the war which maybe why it was saved . I have another picture of one hauling fuel .This tractor has to be cranked by hand to start it, so the women that drove them had to be big and strong and brave . With up to 15 wagons of bombs behind and the air raid siren going off .They could drive up to 30 miles an hour to get off the runway to avoid the fighters .
