Major Stephen Blizzard M.D. earned his pilot wings on December 13, 1968, calling that moment the proudest day of his life. He would go on to become the first Black flight surgeon in the CAF. Although there were technically no limitations on Black or Asian people joining the Royal Canadian Air Force after 1942, the number of non-white service members remained low throughout the Cold War.
