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.
