WW2 Hawker Typhoon Pilot Tells His Story

On the 10th of August 1944, Harry Hardy joined 440 "City of Ottawa" Squadron RCAF in Normandy, flying Hawker Typhoon 'Bombphoons'. Harry flew 96 sorties (missions) through France, Belgium and Holland and was the pilot of The Pulverizers. In 2006, Harry gave this talk to the Royal Canadian Legion in White Rock, BC.
The original footage has kindly been allowed to be reproduced here by his grandson, Rick Tunstall, and the Hardy Family.
