Ted Barris addresses the annual RCAF birthday observance of 427 (London) Wing of the Air Force Association of Canada on Saturday, April 2, 2011. During his visit, Barris will speak about perhaps the least known military aviation heroism of the Second World War. When Britain and free-Europe cried out for help to defend themselves against the German Luftwaffe, Canada responded by launching the largest, wartime, military air training scheme in history. It was known as the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan – created 72 years ago this year – and its heroes are the subject of Ted Barris’s bestselling book “Behind the Glory.”
When: Saturday, April 2, 2011.
Where: 427 Wing building, 2155 Crumlin Road, London, Ont.
