The Regina chapter of the CAHS is helping a committee in Estevan, Saskatchewan, that is working on a monument commemorating the Sept. 15, 1946, crash of an RCAF Dakota at the former site of 38 SFTS near Estevan.
Organizers have found photos of 19 of the 21 RCAF members killed. Two remain to be found.
These two airmen are:
- Flight Lieutenant Clifford Somerville Coppin of Kamsack, Saskatchewan, and;
- Leading Aircraftman Vitantos Luke Kirko of Toronto.
Did any of the Toronto newspapers of that day carry a photo of LAC Kirko? Are there any Finnish historical groups in Toronto that might be able to help?
If you can help, get a screen grab or take a photo with your smartphone and send it to Will Chabun on FB or to cahsregina@hotmail.com.
