==Biography and early flying career==
Douglas and his identical twin, Bruce, were born in Nanton, Alberta on May 28, 1922. Both were called by the nickname, "Duke". In 1940 they joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and went overseas in 1942. They both flew two tours of operations in Britain during World War II with Royal Air Force spitfire squadrons. In 1945 they both were awarded Distinguished Flying Cross by King George VI at Buckingham Palace.〔(Victoria Colonist newspaper )〕
In 1942, Duke flew during the Dieppe Raid, the biggest single day air-operation of the war. He is credited with 1/2 a kill on his three Dieppe sorties, a Dornier 217. Of it he said, "I remember watching the crew bail out.".〔(National Post newspaper )〕
On their return to Canada, Douglas became a Flight Commander with 421 Squadron flying DH Vampire jet aircraft at Chatham, New Brunswick. On April 5, 1951, his brother Bruce was killed as a test pilot at AV Roe aircraft company in Toronto flying the prototype CF100.
