Hero

Hero by Brian Nolan, Lester Oyen Dennys, 1981

A biography of Canada's premiere fighter ace of the Second World War. Beginning his service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1941, Beurling, wholly devoted to developing his skills as a fighter pilot, found it difficult to adapt himself to the accepted discipline so essential to working well in a squadron tasked with flying combat over Western Europe.

Brian won a British Prix Anik Award, getting an Emmy nomination for a documentary (The Last Nazi) he co-produced about Albert Speer, head of Hitler’s armaments program, and authoring or co-authoring best-selling books on Canada’s military.

Although Brian’s repertoire includes producing documentaries for ABC, CBC, CTV and Global television networks, his sights weren’t set on journalism until he started a summer job at The Hamilton Spectator, which he landed after serving for the US Army in the Korean War.
