Hello, Just starting to look into a man I believe to be Norman L. PFANDER. All I do know at the present is F/O. N.L. PFANDER J23647 WAG. He passed away some time ago in Hamilton/Dundas Ontario. I believe he may have served in 407 Squadron from 1941 onwards. Id love to see a photo of him or know more about him if anyone on here might know or have ORB's from 407 Sqn. Thank you if you can help,
Thanks for the quick reply alieneyes. Amazing the info you available at your fingertips!
I have found that a Ron Pfander (son??) sponsored a brick a the Juno beach centre which reads.
F/L Norman L. Pfander,
407 "Demon" Squadron RCAF 1941-1946 Battle of North Atlantic
I found it odd that the graduation article stamped from the Spectator is dated Feb 1943. Might have been when it was copied for the family if they never got the original -who knows. I have a uniform jacket of his dated November 1941 with the WAG brevet on it. The uniform could have been old stock before issued to him, but seems like a long time that it would have been sitting around.
I'll try a contact I have at the Archives to see what 'vetted' information I can get with respect to his enlistment and postings.
