David Ernest Hornell V.C. Born in Mimico Ontario in 1910, David Hornell was destined for valour. His citation, awarded posthumously reads as follows: Flight-Lieutenant Hornell was captain and first pilot of a twin-engined amphibian aircraft engaged on an anti-submarine patrol in northern waters. The patrol had lasted for some hours when a fully-surfaced U-boat was sighted, travelling at high speed on the port beam. Flight-Lieutenant Hornell at once turned to the attack.
