Photograph of men boarding a RCAF plane
Pictured above are men boarding a RCAF plane, with an excerpt from “York County Men and Women Who Gave Their Lives in WWII, Book 2” that includes the obituary of Norman Kendall following a plane crash during training in 1942. Prior to enlisting with the RCAF, Kendall had helped build aircraft at the de Havilland factory in Toronto and was active in the Hebrew Association of Young Men Club , which drew members from Thornhill and Concord, as well as its base of Toronto. Despite a small population of Jewish Canadians in 1939, more than 17,000 men and women joined the war effort out of loyalty to the Queen and country.
