(R/110964) Ian Campbell Thomson - Course 49

(Photo: Ian Thomson flips through his pilot’s log, a photo of the Halifax Bomber her flew in the bottom right corner. Phil Hossack Winnipeg Free Press) Ian Thomson flew a Halifax Bomber 44 times over enemy territory during the Second World War, and 44 times he flew back. Many weren’t as fortunate as Lucky Thomson, who saw planes flown by his brothers in arms blown up in the skies around him. There were many crews that never returned to England.
