Administrative history
4 Fighter Wing was formed on 1 July 1953, relinquished its specialized fighter designation on 1 March 1963, and integrated into the Canadian Armed Forces on 1 February 1968. 4 Fighter Wing at Baden-Soellingen, Germany was one of the four Royal Canadian Air Force bases or wings in France and West Germany established during the early 1950s under No. 1 Air Division. The wing’s location beside the Rhine River with the Black Forest region of Germany supplied the name for the monthly magazine published by 4 Fighter Wing, “Schwarzwald-Flieger, or “Black Forest Flyer”.
