Jack Glazier was born on February 14,1920 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His family later moved to Regina. After studying engineering, Jack got a job designing diesel engines for a company in Athabasca, Alberta. At the age of 21, he joined the RCAF. After his pilot training had concluded and after being posted in England, he was assigned to take part in a convoy to Bombay, India (now Mumbai). He spent the remainder of the war in a flying boat squadron in southeast Asia. We met Joe at the Sunnybrook Veterans’ Centre in Toronto, where he was interviewed by Erik Usher and Joseph Eisentraut in February 2015.
