Albums featuring the all-too-short career of pilot Sheldon H. F. Gunn before he was killed in an ariplane crash near Ville St. Laurent, Quebec, on May 20, 1942 at the age of 21. He and his wife Mary MacBride had been married only a few months. He had previously survived the sinking of the Athenia, a passenger liner of the Donaldson Atlantic Line, the first UK ship sunk by a German submarine in World War II. He is buried in his home town of North Bay. Photos and postcards include aircraft, aerial vews around North Bay and elsewhere, friends and family, airfields, scenes on board the Athenia and in "dear old England." Most aircraft identified, a boon to aviation buffs. Show more
