there during the war.
I travelled to England and saw the airfields in northern England where my Dad had been.
My father had a brother Donald DeVille who also served in the RCAF in England during the second world war. My father was 17 years older than Donald and was able to have Donald transferred to his airfield in England. My dad was 38 years old at the end of the second world war in 1945. Donald married an English girl and remained in England his whole life.
