Terry Posted 11 June , 2005 Share Posted 11 June , 2005 I just happened to notice that the casualty listed for 10 June was one of the RNAS's many Canadian flyers - John G. Manuel, from Edmonton,Alberta. Originally a gunner in the CEF, he was wounded; joined the RNAS in 1917, flew mostly with 10(N) and 210 Squadrons; earned a DSC and MID; racked up 13 victories (with all but three destroyed and these three out of control), and was finally killed in a collision with Lieut.F.C.Dodd. One of nearly two hundred Canadians to achieve ace status in the Great War (using the standards of the era, not later criteria). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
