Notes: "This program documents a daughter's passion to explore and honour the flying careers of her WWII veteran father and his crew and squadron mates. Flight Lieutenant Jim Badgley (Royal Canadian Air Force) was a B-24 Liberator Bomber Captain on 354 Squadron of the Royal Air Force in India. He survived 36 missions in gruelling conditions during the liberation of Burman from the Japanese. Going from small town prairie life to a youth spent in the cockpit changed Jim forever, and his passion for "his" Liberator has never left him. Unfortunately, his Squadron has seemed to disappear from the record, and from the minds of fellow veterans, a fact which saddens the members of the squadron, but one to which they were resigned."
