229030 Sq.Ldr. Clifton Watt Harper DFC Royal Canadian Air Force 113 Sqdn. from:Ontario (d.18th June 1942) Squadron Leader Harper DFC, was a member of both 34 and 113 Squadrons during WWII. He was killed in action on 18th June 1942 while bombing Japanese supply lines in Burma. I believe he was one of the first ten Canadians recruited by the RAF in 1939, under the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, to train other Canadians (and Commonwealth) pilots. S/L Harper trained pilots in England and Rhodesia before transferring to Libya, then Singapore, Sumatra and ultimately Burma. I have only the last names of other original pilot officer recruits: Hale, Bligh, McDonald, Bagg, Waterton, Romans, Howitt, Stevens and, I believe, Goodyear. S/L Harper is commemorated on Col 411 of the Singapore Memorial.
