Transcription
Je suis allé m'enrôler et ils m’ont mis dans l'Aviation royale canadienne, Escadron 117 BR (bombardement de reconnaissance). Nous étions à la recherche de sous-marins, parfois pendant 18 ou 20 heures. Télégraphiste/mitrailleur aérien. Les radiotélégraphistes voyageaient et travaillaient dans le domaine de la radiotéléphonie. Il y avait un pilote et un navigateur. Le pilote, Johnnie Peaker était originaire de Saskatoon (Saskatchewan). Le navigateur venait de Kelowna (Colombie-Britannique). J'aimais bien voler. Certains jours, nous sommes restés 18 ou 20 heures à la recherche de sous-marins. Nous n'en avons pas trouvé. J'ai juste fait ce qu'ils m'ont dit de faire. Dépêchez-vous de venir ici, tenez-vous là, attendez là.
