EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of World War Two Canadian Fighter Air Ace, George Frederick Buerling, also known as 'Screwball.' The image, taken in the 1940s, shows Buerling in his element as a fighter pilot, clad in his leather flying jacket and goggles, his eyes fixed intently on the horizon. With a total of 31 kills to his name, Buerling was a formidable force in the skies during the war. However, tragedy struck in 1948 when he met his end in a plane crash. While flying from Rome to Tel Aviv in a Mitchell B-25, Buerling encountered an unexpected emergency. Despite his exceptional piloting skills, he was unable to bring the plane down safely, and it came crashing to the ground. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served in the aircrews during wartime. This vintage image, with its rich historical significance, is an invaluable archival resource, offering a glimpse into the past and the human stories that shaped the course of history.
