Evening guys,

The US certainly did use the Canberra, and far more than just the B-57G model.  It did indeed obtain a license to build them from English Electric, starting with the 'A' model which you see above.  The production run was limited to about 70 odd bubble canopy versions before switching to the more well-known tandem seat 'B' version.  This spawned several more variants ending with the 'G'.  B,C,E,F,and G models were all used in Vietnam.
