A Life and Service Remembered

Louis Jerrald Longeway served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War, part of a generation of Canadians who took to the air in support of the Allied war effort. The RCAF played a critical role during the war, from training aircrew across Canada to supporting operations overseas in Europe and beyond.

A wartime photograph of tje Supermarine 236 Walrus Mk.I Royal Canadian Air Force, identifies Longeway among fellow airmen, offering a rare glimpse into his service and the people he served alongside. Like many who served in the air force, his work would have required skill, discipline, and a willingness to operate in challenging and often dangerous conditions.

Following the war, he returned to civilian life in Ontario. He passed away in 1984 and is remembered today through the St. Marys Legion banner program and the continued effort to preserve the stories of those who served.
