- Flying Officer Harry Knobovitch was born in Pinsk, Poland, and lived in Montreal, Quebec. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on December 19, 1944. The citation read: "This officer participated in many sorties and has set a fine example of skill and devotion to duty. One night in October 1944, he piloted an aircraft detailed to attack Duisburg. Long before the target was reached one engine failed completely. Undeterred Flying Officer Knobovitch continued his mission and a good bombing attack was made. When crossing the coast of France on the return flight, the wireless apparatus caught fire. The aircraft quickly became filled with smoke. Displaying great coolness Flying Officer Knobovitch directed the efforts of two crew members in extinguishing the flames. This done, he cleared the smoke out of the aircraft by turning on the heater of the defective engine. He afterwards flew the damaged aircraft to base and effected a safe landing in difficult circumstances. This officer displayed great skill and determination and provided a most inspiring captain.” He was listed missing after operations and was presumed dead for official purposes on September 27, 1945 (R.C.A.F. Casualty List No. 1274).
