- Notes
- Flight Lieutenant Birney Adilman, of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, was reported missing in action overseas and presumed dead. Enlisting in the Air Force in October 1940, Flight Lieutenant Adilman went overseas as a bomber pilot in July 1941. He completed a tour of operations in Hampdens and Wellingtons and was posted to a Canadian operational training unit in England as an instructor before gong on leave in June 1944. He flew on missions over Hamburg, Essen, Paris, Bremen and Cologne, and laid mines at Kiel, Lorient and off the Dutch coast. He was forced to make four crash landings. He was pilot of an aircraft in a squadron that raided the Gnome-Rhone works outside Paris on June 19, 1942, without dropping his bombs. "We spent twenty minutes over the target but the cloud was too thick and we couldn't pinpoint the target," Flight Lieutenant Adilman reported on his return to base. (Canadian Jews in World War II.)
