Re: George Beurling--if looks could KILL!
There have been several recent books on the man published in Canada, try Googling his name for listings.
The CBC radio link above is interesting, as it perpetuates the myth of "pilot error" in his death in the Norseman crash in Italy. Several eye witness accounts report the aircraft attempting to return to the field with the engine on fire, hard to see how pilot error causes this. At least one of the new books lambasts the shoddy nature of the Italian accident investigation. This could explain the persistant rumour of anti-Israeli sabotage. Would anyone out there have more info on the crash?
