Talk:Dick Wilson

Today, another has passed.
this admittedly feels unseemly, but adding 'Today, another has passed.' to the line 'On his 80th birthday, when asked about his experience in the War, Wilson refused to speak of it, saying, "I lost too many good wing men."' seems not in the spirit of wikipedia? this in no way is meant to diminish a truly impressive & appreciated fact about him--Snideology (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

WW II service
The previous version (and other sites) erroneously state that Wilson flew fighters in the Battle of Britain. That is demonstrably false. His name does not appear on the RAF roster in Francis K. Mason's encyclopedic "Battle Over Britain," and the only Canadian named Wilson was killed in the battle. Apparently Wilson served as an bomber pilot, as noted here:

Another source, which I cannot find, said he was a Pathfinder Force commander, which if anything was far riskier than flying fighters in 1940.
