Description:

Jean-Bernard Rainville of St-Jean-D'Iberville, Quebec speaks of his aircrew training at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and his service with 403 (Fighter) Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. On February 3, 1943 while escorting Ventura bombers on a raid to St. Omer a number of German Focke-Wulf FW 190 Fighters engaged the bombers while many more attacked Rainville's Squadron. His squadron was then engaged in a running fight all the way to the coast at Calais. After a series of attacks Rainville ditched his badly damaged Spitfire into the English Channel where he was eventually taken aboard a R.A.F. rescue launch.
