SATURDAY'S HERO, A Portrait of Fighter Pilot Raymond Collishaw, states he was arguably the greatest fighter pilot of all time.

Those who knew Collishaw personally say he was unquestionably a great man. A local boy, for all he achieved, he has remained in relative obscurity. Since research tells us that knowledge of noble lives instills security in others and honour in a nation, the humanity and courage of Raymond Collishaw presents a model we should want to cherish. Through this profile, the hope is to explore the question of identity with young Canadians, for I suspect they do not want to be indifferent to the country's heroes and heroines.

"I have always been very conscious of being Canadian." -Raymond Collishaw
