Here is the post I wrote on November 25, 2014 on the original blog that was meant to be a tribute to the 2000 or so Alouettes. I was talking about Jean-Paul Michaud.
The Flying Coffin
Its nickname is well deserved according to Mr. Corbeil who flew on Wellingtons during his training in England. He wasn’t surprised when I slipped him a note yesterday afternoon. We also talked about DFC, the one Jean-Paul Michaud never had.
30 sorties on Wellingtons!
He should have had one.
I showed Mr. Corbeil this article in La Presse.
Arrival in the country of 550 airmen.
Interesting to read between the lines.
Waiting patiently…
Jean-Paul Michaud is still waiting for a medal for his courage.
Six years later…
