Buzz Beurling (1921-1948)
In early 1939 (March–April ), pre his career in the RAF /RCAF, the famous Canadian ace George “Buzz” Beurling also flew into the Rouyn-Noranda area flying freight from Gravenhurst to Rouyn in a Curtiss Robin with a fellow named Smith Langley.
At the time he was still not a licensed pilot. Ref his book Malta Spitfire pg 14-15.
