Hello all–
Another of The Greatest Generation left us this past week. G/C David Goldberg DFC passed away 17 September in Hamilton, Ontario. As S/L Goldberg he was the final wartime commander of 417 (City of Windsor) Sqn RCAF on Spitfire VIIIs and IXs in Italy, winning the DFC during that period. Postwar he had a 45-year law career. Sadly I never knew until now that a wartime 417 Sqn CO lived in my city!
Godspeed G/C Goldberg…and thank you for helping secure my freedom twenty years before I first drew breath to enjoy it.
