_____________________________________________________
Factory Fresh Spitfire Mk IXe's make their way to
the forward airfields of Normandy carrying kegs of beer. The English
brewery of Heneger and Constable donated fresh beer for the troops
fighting in Normandy, and someone came up with the idea
of strapping the beer kegs to the underwings of the Spitfires that
were being shipped to the forward airfields. The troops loved the
freshly delivered, cold beer, but as with all good things, the British
Ministry of Revenue and Excise stepped in and notified the brewery
that it was in violation of the law by exporting beer without paying
the taxes on it. And that was the end of that. |

If you're looking for Honorary Canadian Aces of WW2 click here
_______________________________________________
This incomplete list of "Canadian & Honorary Canadian
Almost Aces & Honorable Mentions" is made up of guys who
were in the RCAF at some time during WW2, like the Americans who
went to Canada and enlisted because the US had not yet entered the
war ( I've read that approximately 10% of the RCAF enlistments when
WW2 began were Americans). |
And another thing ...
If you have a photo that's better than one you see here,
or better yet, a photo you don't see here, how about
!?!
If you have corrections/additions/suggestions, feel free to click that link and suggest
away.
THANKS
