This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Hi all--
Another of The Greatest Generation left us this past week, G/C David Goldberg, who as S/L Goldberg was the final wartime commander of 417 (City of Windsor) Sqn RCAF on Spitfire VIIIs and IXs in Italy, winning the DFC during that period. Postwar he had a 45-year career in law. He was a lifelong Hamiltonian...I never knew that a wartime CO of 417 Sqn lived in my city!
Godspeed G/C Goldberg, and thank you for defending my freedom twenty years before I first drew breath to enjoy it...
S.
