Canadian Aircraft Serials and Personnel Information Resource (CASPIR)

[GSymmonds]

Not sure where to put this but the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has just published a data base called Canadian Aircraft Serials and Personnel Information Resource (CASPIR).  It is a comprehensive collection of all Canadian aircraft serials and crews and fates.  Very impressive and will be very useful!

Really cool, Thanks for Sharing. Found a family friend when I was a kid. Long since passed and never really talked about his experience,  all I knew from my dad is that he was a POW after being shot down and that he was a navigator.

 

My memory is not that clear but I do remember him wearing a tie clip or a medal and it had a sapphire or orange jewel in it. He told my Dad that only crews that had jumped out of a burning aircraft and survived got one.

Anyone have any idea on what type of medal that might be from the RCAF??
