Bill revisits a Remembrance Day story with new information
There are key elements to every story: plot, setting, characters, point of view, and conflict. We naturally include all these elements when we’re telling a story; we try to have flow and anticipation to excite the reader or listener.
Look for the war graves icon it is the introduction to this story. A visit to our local cemeteries may be a different way of participating in this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony. There are mini cenotaphs there with specific insignia. The Commission was started by a Royal charter in 1917. Its duties are to mark and maintain the graves of members not buried within their own countries.
The North Bay Daily Nugget reported, “…its nose, engine and cabin are a tangled mass of wreckage. Part of the fuselage, including the mid-upper turret, is fairly intact. The falling plane clipped off trees for a considerable distance before it struck the earth.” "Civilian as well as military aircrew from 23 countries trained here. The course was three to four weeks long," he said. "Thereafter they went to Dorval and were given a check ride—a flying exam. If they passed, they entered the aircraft ferrying program.
The radio operators/wireless operators were crucial to the flights, more than transmitting and receiving messages. “Nothing was heard from the second for two days, its fate a mystery. The airplane was too damaged by the landing to fly. They could receive radio messages, but not transmit them. “The first to make a full, non-stop crossing were two Brits in the RAF, John Alcock and Arthur Brown. In June 1919, a mere few weeks after the American flight, they departed St. John's, Newfoundland and landed in Ireland. "Unknown to the two, while flying in clouds, the instrument which told whether they were climbing or diving froze. The crew thought they were flying straight and level when, in fact, they were ascending. Surrounded by clouds they could not tell the difference.
“In fact, when seven warplanes took off from Newfoundland for Ireland in November 1940, as a test by the Allies whether or not ferrying aircraft over the ocean was viable, critics jumped on the venture as suicide--even some proponents remarked that the test would be declared a success if only three aircraft made it. Happily, all seven completed the voyage, and the ferrying of warplanes from Canadian and U.S. factories to war zones began.
