A 'Wings' Presentation parade at an Empire Air Training School in Canada, c. May 1943. Don Charlwood recalled that on graduating as a navigator in Canada the station commander pinned his 'wings' on him, the new sergeants did a march past over dazzling snow accompanied by the station band, his pay went up to an incredible $3.60 a day, and he was entitled to a sleeper car bunk on Canadian railways.
