This third edition of A Formidable Hero not only updates the available biography of Lt. ‘Hammy’ Gray, one of Canada’s last war heroes, but materially expands and enhances the story with the addition of never before published pictures and material.   Here is the story of a young man attending the University of B.C.  who, as the Battle of Britain is raging, making a sudden and unexpected decision to get into the war.  He decides to be a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm…..A Formidable Hero is a picture of a young Canadian transformed by the war.  From a jovial but pensive student, he quickly develops into an outstanding aggressive pilot, whose natural leadership ability makes him revered among his peers.  One is not surprised to hear at the end of the story that he has earned the Victoria Cross.  He is the last Canadian to have done so, even if posthumously……
