     It was Wing Commander "Bob" Braham, English nightfighter
 ace. Hi did not have the Victoria cross but had the largest
 collection of "Gongs" in the British forces. Hew was 23 years
 old at that time.
     He came to Canada after the war and flew for the RCAF
 as a Group Captain. His widow and three sons live there
 now.. I exchange e-mail with his oldest son, Michael...
