“In 2019, Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame will honour five individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Canadian aviation,” says Rod Sheridan, chairman of the board for the Hall. “Honored this year are two fighter pilots of the Second World War who post-war continued in aviation development for the rest of their lives.
