Studio portrait of Robert Shun Wong dressed in E.F.T.S. pilot uniform with another gentleman

A studio portrait of Robert Wong dressed in E.F.T.S. pilot uniform with an older gentleman. The photo is taken at Yucho Chow Studio in Vancouver's Chinatown. Inscriptions indicate the photograph was given as a gift from a nephew to his aunt and uncle. 

Wong showed a passion for flying from an early age, building model airplanes and taking flying lessons in high school. He pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Maintenance Engineering at Parks Air College in East St. Louis, Illinois -- the first federally certified school of aviation in the U.S. -- graduating in 1940. Just shy of attending his graduation ceremony, Wong was called upon to serve as a flight engineer for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, training pilots for the Royal Canadian Air Force out of an Elementary Flying Training School (EFTS) based at Windsor Airport from 1940 to 1944 as part of the war effort. After the war, Wong and his brother Tommy co-founded and operated Central Airways out of Toronto Island Airport.
