Calls to honour war hero who sacrificed himself 'to save thousands in Darlington'

An MP has called for Canada to honour a Second World War pilot who sacrificed his life to save “potentially thousands of civilians he never knew” in an English town.

This pilot is honoured every year in a U.K. town. Will Canada recognize his bravery?

There is a street named after him in a British town. A plaque at the local hospital tells the story of how the 29-year-old pilot saved many lives while sacrificing his own during the Second World War.
