BRUCE HICKEY

1923-1982

When WWII came, Bruce Hickey joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and became a fighter pilot in a Typhoon Squadron. He often flew into enemy territory where he successfully shot down many German fighter planes. 

After the war Bruce started racing motorcycles and in 2016 he was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

In the 60s Bruce was a pilot for Simard &Freres in Montreal.
