Scope and content
Norman Francis Cook enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in 1942 and underwent Air Gunner training at No. 3 Bombing and Gunnery School in MacDonald, Manitoba. After completing his training, he was transferred to No. 26 Operational Training Unit RAF. Later, he moved on to 1657 C.U. (Heavy Conversion Unit) at Shepards Grove, UK for circuit and landing exercises. Following this, he attended the Lancaster Finishing School at RAF Feltwell, Thetford, Norfolk and underwent intensive training due to the urgent need for Lancaster bombers in frontline duty. Finally, on July 27, 1944, Cook was assigned to No. 514 Squadron RAF (514 Sqn) as a Mid-Upper Air Gunner on the Avro Lancasters, participating in numerous operations.
