    Sorry no, he was only related to him, he did not escape with him - what a dumb answer!

    That's right. 121 victories at night, mainly flying Bf110s. Knights Cross with oak leaves, swords and diamonds.
    Killed in a car accident, 1950.

    I hold the rare distinction of being one of four Canadians to win the DFC and two bars. I am no longer with you as after opening my medical practice after the war I was killed outside my home in a car accident in 1969.

    Who am I?

    R.W. McNair although I thought he died in 1971.

    Sorry folks, that makes two wrongs and as we all know two wrongs don't make a right. :cry_smile:

    Next try?

    Yes "Johnie" had 2 bars to his DFC, but he is not our "mystery man". Johnie was a fur rancher in western Canada, not a doctor in Ontario.

    Rob McNair also had DFC and 2 bars, plus the DSO. He certainly was a hero, particularly with his post-war act of bravery to save the passengers of the downed North Star transport in Vancouver. Rob died in 1970 of leukemia

    I don't know of Vincent Woodward, only Vernon Woodward and he only had one bar to the DFC. Maybe there is a Vincent as well??

    As no one has post a question, I thought that I would try and start it again!

    Who or what connects Stavely Road Chiswick and Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon?
