I'm going to need a little bit of help here;

First, I'm not sure what the RCAF and RCNAS has at the moment (Specifically, what came over with Hermes)

Second, how are we going about designing aircraft? Anything special I should know about? Canada has a decent aviation industry, so I'd think it'd be logical for Canada to shop domestically for it's aerospace needs.

Use a historical design, or Rick Robinson's Planebuilder:

its an EXCEL spreadsheet, sort of a Springstyle for airplanes.

Unfortunately, I don't have excell so I'm in the same board I am with springsharp... And OTL, Canadian companies didn't start making their own designs until after '45, so there's not much to use in that area. (mostly trainer biplanes, then WWII bombers)

This should help you form your existing airforces.

As for carrier planes it all depends on what the UK can spare. I assume it would be a historical outfit of Fairey IIIF's, Ripons and flycatchers.

Use standard RN aircraft. Fairey IIIF, Blackburn Baffin/Ripon etc. Hawker Nimrod. Maybe only 50 aircraft in all.
