Bearcats and things
Ten or twelve years ago a Canadian pilot posted intermittently on Jet Blast his reminiscences of a long and eventful life in aviation. I remember reading through tears of laughter his very detailed and descriptive dry sense of humour, recalling tales of crop-dusting/spraying/water-bombing (my memory's not that good now!) in converted warbirds such as the Bearcat and Avenger. I got the impression that these postings were prompted by his having been diagnosed with what he referred to as the "Big C", which I assumed was cancer.
Does anyone out there know what became of this superb storyteller (and aviator, obviously). I'm sure there's much more to tell, was his life storey ever published?
I would love to see it passed on to the whole new generation of pilots who've started their careers since then and have never known any flying other than straight-and-level with passengers.
