In no way do I want to get involved in this imbroglio again. I should mention, though, that Drew's "Canada's Fighting Airmen" is not exactly a paragon of historical virtue. There's a lot of embellishment in the section on Barker, for example. So look on Drew as more of a well-meaning propagandist (he was writing in response to American suggestions that Canada had contributed little to the war effort) and less of a historian.
As to his veracity in this case, I'm sitting on the fence.
