Last Canadian Airman Dies

[Barrett]

This just came to me from the president of the Amer. Fighter Aces Assn. "The Last WW I Pilot" keeps dying--depends on where he's from, I guess!

WORLD WAR I PILOT DIES IN TORONTO
*
Toronto-Henry Botterell, the last of Canada's World War I fighter pilots, has died.* He was 106.
*
Mr. Botterell died Jan 3 in a Toronto nursing home,according to officials at the residence.
*
He was one of the estimated 15 remaining Canadian veterans of World War I, and the Department of Veteran Affairs considered him the last fighter pilot from the 1914-1918 conflict.
*
Must have been a typical fighter pilot to live so long.
