Speaker: Colin Buxton

This lecture will be a detailed and well-illustrated look at the lives and actions of three of the lesser-known pilots from Canada. It will include two winners of the Victoria Cross and a general overview of the tremendous Canadian contribution to the Royal Flying Corps, Royal Naval Air Service, and the Royal Air Force.
