He looks like a donkey well? Huh, must be a regional saying.

How about him greeting his two younger brothers upon his return to Canada?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Beurling did'nt drink or smoke. I believe he was also fairly religious, I seem to recall reading he always carried around a little bible his mother gave him.

He didn't wear his religion on his arm, but he did carry a bible in his pocket everywhere. In fact, after being shot down and having his left heel blown away, he was recovered in his raft and kept asking where his bible was. His rescuers found it in the folds of his life raft and put it back in his shirt pocket. I would imagine he probably had it on him when he did in Israel.  Here is a great video about Beurling including anecdotes from his brother. If you can stand the Canadian accent, it's definitely worth a watch!

Nice 1 Doc!

This is a picture of him adding kill markings to his plane after his return to operations later in the war. Kinda reminds you of our own ranking ace in the campaign who has been gradually adding kill markings to his kite.



Course, they ARE both pure blooded canadians...
