"Vintage Wings of Canada is a not-for-profit, charitable organization with a collection of historically significant aircraft and is run entirely by volunteers. It is our mission to acquire, restore, maintain and fly classic aircraft significant to the early history of powered flight in Canada, focussing largely on the aircraft of the Second World War. It is our goal to inspire and educate future generations about the historical significance of our aviation heritage and to demonstrate that these aircraft are more than just metal, fabric, and wood artifacts. We seek to keep the souls of these aircraft alive through the thundering sound of engines, the smell of leather, glycol, oil and sweat, as well as the laughter of their pilots as they dance with them in their natural element in the skies over Canada."

"In the afternoon of October 15, 1942 Joseph William “Billy” Dubroy of Ottawa, crushed out his Gold Flake cigarette, blew a last long stream of smoke out the side of his mouth and pushed himself out of the tired brocade armchair in the Sergeants’ Mess at RAF Pocklington."

"Au cours de l'après-midi du 15 octobre 1942, Joseph William « Billy » Dubroy, originaire d'Ottawa, écrasa sa cigarette Gold Flake, exhala un dernier long nuage de fumée du coin de la bouche et se leva péniblement du fauteuil brocart défraîchi du mess des sergents de la base aérienne de Pocklington."

"From the left side window of the cockpit, Captain Nathaniel “Nat” Tooker could see the black-green sea of the North Atlantic Ocean and the endless pattern of pale white breakers and drifting spume flecking the surface all the way to the northern horizon. It always made hum shudder looking down on the vast and empty waterscape. “God, If we have to ditch,” he thought to himself, “there is no hope for a rescue in time. None.”"
