His battle and civilian honours were not only bestowed by Canada and Great Britain, but also by France, America and Germany.

The service he and his late identical twin brother, Bruce, gave in World War Two led to both being awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses - presented personally by King George VI at Buckingham Palace.

At the time, the King reportedly told them he had never before presented simultaneous honours for outstanding service to twins.
