Looking Back

We honour the Brave and Distinguished Pilot and crew of PBY RCAF-11024.


 

Since 1939, the PBY has served the world in some of its most unfavourable conditions. A time of rugged self-reliant people, swept up in the the adventure of the moment with a strong sense of
country and pride.
The following pages are their stories as recalled from personal reflection, historical facts and
grandchildren musings as they curiously discover treasurers in the attic from an ol’ trunk, a pile
of scattered papers or photographs with strange aircraft and family whose stories are from Days Of Old.
