Harold Edwards (RCAF officer)
Air Marshal Harold Gus Edwards (1892–1952) played a prominent role in building the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). From November 1941 to December 1943, Air Marshal Edwards was appointed Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Overseas where he was responsible for all RCAF personnel. In June 2012, Edwards was posthumously inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame for his "outstanding leadership in building Canada's national air force".
== Early life ==
Harold Edwards was born in England in 1892; he immigrated with his family to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia in 1903. At age fourteen, he left school to work as a trapper boy in the coal mines, but also began home study following his shifts. By the age of 18 he qualified as the mine’s chief electrician, and by 1915 he had educated himself to a sufficiently high level to be accepted into the Royal Naval Air Service.〔Edwards, Suzanne K, ''Gus: From Trapper Boy To Air Marshal''. General Store Publishing House, 2007, pp. 7–14〕 Edwards earned his pilot's wings in 1916 and graduated as a Flight Sub-Lieutenant.
