STAFFORD, Va. — Growing up in a family of aviators, Michael Parkyn found it hard to believe the lore about his father’s cousin, Alfred. As the story went, Alfred Parkyn was an American, who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and went missing aboard a British Lancaster bomber off the Dutch coast in 1942. “That was impossible, right?” Parkyn says. “But it wasn’t.” Alfred Parkyn was one of nearly 9,000 Americans who volunteered to fight for Canada before the U.S. had officially entered the Second World War. More than 850 Americans like Alfred never returned home. American volunteer pilot Alfred Parkyn receives his pilot wings in Ottawa in this undated photo while train
