Clennell Haggerston "Punch" Dickins (January 12, 1899 – August 2, 1995) was a pioneering Canadian aviator and bush pilot.〔("Dickins, Clennell Haggerston." ) ''Canadian Encyclopedia'' (Historica Foundation, Toronto), 2011. Retrieved: January 31, 2011.〕 Northern native Americans called him "Snow Eagle;" northern Europeans called him "White Eagle;" while the press dubbed him the "Flying Knight of the Northland." ==Early years== Clennell Haggerston Dickins was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and moved with his family to Edmonton, Alberta in 1909, when he was ten years old. The nickname, "Punch" came at an early age, reputed to be either when his brother, Francis, first called him Punch, according to Punch's son, John. Other reports say his maternal Aunt Nell dubbed him a fat little punch because his clothes wouldn't stay over his tummy. In interviews in later years, Dickins said he was not sure how he acquired the nickname, but admitted he had it longer than he could remember.
