- Flight Lieutenant Henry Cowan, R.C.A.F., of Trout River, Quebec, was reported missing after air operations and officially presumed dead on April 19, 1945, according to an official announcement. He enlisted in the air force in Toronto on October 8, 1941, and trained as a pilot at St. Hubert, Victoriaville, Cap de la Madeleine and St. Hubert, where he graduated on July 1, 1942, and received his commission as a pilot officer. Flight Lieutenant Cowan took advanced training at Summerside, Prince Edward Island, and went overseas in October 1942, being posted first to the Coastal Command and later to the 402 (City of Winnipeg) Squadron of the Fighter Command. He was promoted to the rank of flying officer in January 1943 and one year later was promoted to flight lieutenant. While on operations over England, he had shot down a flying bomb. After his squadron was transferred to Belgium and Holland in September 1944, he shot down a Fokke Wulf 170 in an engagement over Osnabrueck, Germany, and was credited a few days after with “one damaged and one probably destroyed” after a fight over Lingen. His plane was discovered to be missing during an air operation. He was presented with the golden wings and a special posthumous citation from R.C.A.F. headquarters, in Ottawa. Flight Lieutenant Cowan was born December 31, 1920, in Dinslaken-on-the-Niederrhein, Germany.

- Notes
- Flight Lieutenant William Nelson was from Montreal, Quebec. He was twice personally congratulated by His Majesty for his exploits as captain of a heavy bomber, received the Distinguished Flying Cross at Buckingham Palace on June 6, 1940, and thus became the first Canadian Jew to be decorated in this war. The citation read: “Nelson carried out many flights over enemy territory, always showing the greatest determination and courage. After an attack on Stavanger, Norway, he encountered a balloon barrage and sent a report to base headquarters in time to warn aircraft.” Flight Lieutenant Nelson was interested in aviation since early childhood, when he began building model airplanes, and in 1936 Flight Lieutenant Nelson worked his way across the Atlantic to join the Royal Air Force. After he overcame several obstacles to his enlistment, he was finally accepted and posted as lecturer. He was a member of the first bomber squadron to fly over German territory after the declaration of war in September 1939. He was among the airmen who raided Stavanger and the German air base at Sylt and took part in the evacuation from Dunkirk. He was listed as missing (R.A.F. Casualty List No. 52) and was presumed killed for official purposes on May 26, 1941. Biography in comic book “Jewish War Heroes,” published by CJC.
