Two more well known Canadians who served in the RCAF during WW II.

GOLAB, TONY, Elected as a Player, November 26, 1964. For a decade he was the Golden Boy of Canadian football with the Ottawa Rough Riders. One of the game's great Backfielders, he won the Jeff Russell Trophy in 1941 and was a Big Four All-Star three times. Despite suffering serious wounds to the arms and legs during World War II, Golab returned to star with Ottawa until 1950.

Lorne Greene was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on February 12, 1915, an only child, he later said that he tried to base his posrtrayal of Ben Cartwright on his own father, Daniel Greene, who made orthopedic boots and shoes. Daniel Greene died in 1956, three years before the premier of "Bonanza". "But he will always be alive somewhere when the show is aired," Green said.
Greene enrolled at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, to study chemical engineering, but succumbed to his love of the theater and his desire to be a part of it. He served as both an actor and director in the school's drama guild. He won a fellowship to the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater located in New York City. Returning home in 1939, Greene became "The Voice of Canada" when the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hired him . One columnist went so far to describe his voice as "surely one of the finest ever wrought by nature". After service as a flying officer in the RCAF during World War II, Lorne returned to Toronto and founded the Academy of Radio Arts.
