101-year-old WW2 bomber pilot talks about his aircraft bailout in 1944 & being ever-grateful

Reginald "Crash" Harrison of Saskatchewan, Canada, bailed out and crashed a Halifax bomber as an RCAF pilot during the Second World War. The bailout was the third of four crashes Reg survived - none of which were his fault. In this video, with author Deana Driver beside him, Reg tells the Canadian Aviation Historical Society's annual convention about what happened after he bailed out of the aircraft in northern England in 1944. He also shares details of how his war stories first became known and then became the subject of numerous interviews and a book.
Reg's fascinating life story, from growing up in the Dirty Thirties on a Prairie farm through his war years and his life of service afterward, is told in the book Crash Harrison: Tales of a Bomber Pilot Who Defied Death by Deana J. Driver. Signed copies are available from driverworks.ca/
