This website was created by students attending St. Francis Xavier University in 2002. Two members of the group who originally developed this web based application started a company called DynamicASP.com that makes dynamic websites like this one for small businesses.

The objective of the assignment was to map out the 100's of operational flights during the war from the coordinate pairs provided to the class.

In our solution, we used PHP, mySQL and Flash to develop a program that dynamically renders the flight route and animates the path taken so that the direction the aircraft took can be conveyed effectively. All the dynamic components of the site can be seen on the Search Flights page.

To learn more about the 427 Lion Squadron check out the history page or go to the offical website here.

We continue to host this site in memory of the sacrifices made by Canadians and others during the war.
