The biography of another unsung Canadian hero.
His life is legend among airmen who knew him and those who knew of him. Wing Commander Lloyd Vernun Chadburn, DSO and Bar, DFC lived almost 25 years but in those short years he stood as an example of what a dedicated leader and unassuming hero could and should be. People young and old have come to hear the tiny fragments of what little was told to them and yet, that only scratched the surface of the true story about to unfold before you.
You will be carried back to 1941 when young men sought adventure and glory, and the women who loved them sought the closeness and assurance that they would return safely to them again.
Published as a fund-raiser for 151 Chadburn Squadron. You can contact them, or me for any copies that may be still available.
by Major Robert W. Forbes with a foreword by Andrew Cockshott, Lloyd Chadburn’s son.
