The records in this series consists of Daily Orders issued by the units, schools, formations, and headquarters of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) from 1920 to 1946. The Daily Orders were issued each day in two parts, Part I for Administration and Part II for Personnel.

The Part I Order identified personnel for daily tasks such as Duty Officer, Security Officer, and Duty Room staff. The Part I Order was also used to identify any matter of importance and interest to all officers and other ranks.

The Part II Order was used to identify any changes within the status of unit personnel which would affect their individual rank and pay. This would include movements to and from the unit, promotions, detention, hospitialization, deaths, marriages, births and honours and awards. Copies of the Part II Orders would be sent to the higher formations and/or headquarters. A copy was also sent to Air Force Headquarters in Ottawa, where it was used to update the personnel files of the indivuals listed in the order.

It should be noted that most of wartime overseas squadrons Daily Orders have not been located.
