Jewish War Heroes #3

· 9 pages

This special Canadian edition presents biographical stories of Jewish war heroes. The issue includes the account of David Croll, who rose from owning a newsstand during the Depression to becoming the first Jewish mayor of an Ontario city (Windsor) in 1930, later becoming Canada's first Jewish Cabinet Minister, and who welcomed King George VI and Queen Elizabeth to Windsor in 1939. Another story chronicles Max Shvemar of Montreal, an education committee member and YMHA leader who served as a pilot in the RAF during World War II but was killed in action on June 25, 1943, along with fellow pilot Somers when their damaged plane failed to return. The issue also features Flight Lieutenant William Henry Nelson, a Montreal-born RAF pilot decorated for reporting enemy balloon barrages, who was reported missing after his first flight upon returning to active service in November 1940.
