Narrative:

At XA00 approximately, on sep/sun/03, I was awakened to fly on EMS flight for my employer. Takeoff was to the east, traveling approximately 3 mi from ZZZ, when dispatch cancelled the flight. The aircraft was returned to the airport, and landed without incident. The reason for this report is that the aircraft flown is now being questioned about whether or not it was airworthy at the time of the flight. Landing gear was found to be damaged by another pilot after he had flown the aircraft on subsequent flts. No damage was observed by myself during preflight or post flight inspection. Sep/sun/03, a co-worker flew an aircraft that I had flown the previous night. I did experience a slightly harder than normal landing in a previous flight, but found no damage in post flight inspections. The pilot that served as my relief found no damage on his preflight inspection. Damage was found after this pilot had made subsequent flts. Damage was found at landing gear attachment point.
