My Father,whose name is Otto, tried to join the RCAF in the early part of the War. As He had a Hernia, He was Disqualified, but was operated on by my Uncle, who was a renowned Surgeon in Canada. Both of my other Uncles served in the RCAF. One was a Pharmacist, and the other, an Instrument Maker.
My Mother, Evelyn, worked for the British Army, in Detroit.

My step-dad couldn't wait for the US’s entry into WW II, so he went across at Detroit/Windsor and joined the RCAF. He had some airplane experience in the 1930s and served as a training instructor.
