    Can anybody tell me anything about Leonard Cohen please - who was killed when his plane crashed on May 20 1948 at Urbe Airport in Rome ?

    According to one account - he was 24 at the time and hailed from Liverpool ! His co-pilot was George 'Buzz' Beurling, Canada's World War II ace pilot.

    They were killed while attempting to ferry a plane from Italy to Israel - sabotage was suspected when their plane crashed immediately upon takeoff

    Thanking you in advance

    Annie :)
