Actually the ones they built in Canada were named Cansos. In the postwar years experiments were made to try to shorten the space required to operate from. Here a Canso of the 408 Sqdn of the RCAF takes off from Golden Lake, Ontario. Seems like cruel and unusual punishment.

I read up a bit on JATO and was surprised to see that Boeing sold a small number of JATO-equipped 727s for "emergency use only, during take-off from hot-weather, high-altitude airports in the event of an engine failure." I can't believe somebody signed off on that.
