Original Toronto Star caption: Canada's spitfire squadron is one of Britain's greatest sources of pride. Prime Minister Mackenzie King saved his last visit for this crack collection of Nazi-blasters, just before taking a bomber home to Canada. Here is the prime minister chatting with some members of the Squadron. The chap at tleft leans easily as he talks, and taps the heel of his hand with a small screwdriver, one of the tools with which he helps keep in repair the great war tool
