Squadron Leader Roy Wozniak DFC
Roman (Roy) Wozniak from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was one of the luckier RCAF fighter pilots that participated in the air support of the Dieppe Raid. Even after taking a direct hit from a German anti aircraft cannon, Wozniak was able to safely land his Spitfire and walk away in one piece. Roy recalls the impact of the shell 'like being hit by a sledgehammer. The Armoured plate saved me, the shrapnel hit the plate behind my seat, but one piece lodged in the heel of my boot…'. Wozniak would survive the war and return to Canada to work in West Vancouver, where he passed away in 2017.
