I have wanted to add a Canadian Pilot to my ETO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Rob Stevenson(Captain Winters) from Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Pilot was "William Lidstone McKnight" born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1918 and grew up in Calgary, Alberta.
He joined the RAF from Canada in 1939 and flew in Europe and the Battle of Britain with 242 Squadron with Douglas Bader.
He lost his life in January,1941 on a fighter sweep over Calais, France at the age of 23.
He has no known grave but is remembered on the "Battle of Britain Memorial"
Thanks Rob for giving me a real thrill when he showed up on Canada Pilots files.
