Looking for info on John Henry Gregory, he was born in Flint, Michigan on May 18, 1924. He enlisted in the Royal
Canadian Air Force in 1939. He was discharged in 1941. Being discharged after two years, with a war getting worse.

Does anyone have any info on this individual, why his RCAF Career was only 2 years ?

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this article answer’s your question George……it looks like he didn’t join the RCAF until May 1943, and then served in Nova Scotia as a mechanic, so he only served until the end of the war, approx 2 years after he joined.
