Roy Cochrane recalls WWII service from Nova Scotia to Mosquitos
Roy Cochrane, once grounded for colour blindness, journeys from Nova Scotia to Scotland aboard the Stratheden to join 409 Squadron Night Fighters. He becomes an aero engine mechanic, servicing Beau Fighters and Mosquitos built with British Columbia wood and Merlin engines. He serves in France’s Lilli in 1944, later attends law school and officer training, and ends his career as Major Cochrane reviewing court marshals in military law.
