Abstract
Field data measuring airtanker performance while fighting forest fires in the provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario, 1965-1967 are analyzed. The data presented in this study were derived from individual airtanker evaluation reports of action taken by 141 airtankers on 491 forest fires. This study was made to supply information from which interested personnel could draw their own conclusions. Several of the more important features have been examined in each question.
