500893 F/O C. Frank Bowker RCAF instructor 34 SFTS from:Medicine Hat, Canada. My father, C. Frank Bowker, was an instructor at #34 SFTS with the rank
of Flying Officer sometime during the period 1942-1944. He had broken
his back as a young man and so was not allowed active duty, but somehow
joined the RAF anyway. I was a baby at the time, and so I know nothing
of what he taught, indeed I don't recall him being absent from home, and
he never talked about his role in the RCAF. He lived at home in
Medicine Hat, and had a full-time job with a local flour company, so he
may have been a part-time instructor.
