My half brother, born in Seattle, came north to Vancouver to join the RCAF 205 squadron. He flew Lancasters for the only Canadian pathfinder squadron - the one leading the other bombers on to the target - and lasted until February 1945 when he was shot down over Stuttgart. He was 22 and is buried in the Commonwealth cemetery at Durnbach 45 km south of Munich. I have visited there - it has great fengshui, carefully tended gardens and one of the gardeners drives a BMW.
