Air Vice Marshal Raymond Collishaw CB, DSO & Bar, OBE, DSC, DFC, RAF (22 November 1893 – 28 September 1976) was a distinguished Canadian fighter pilot, squadron leader, and commanding officer who served in the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and later the Royal Air Force. He was the highest scoring RNAS flying ace and the second highest scoring Canadian pilot of the First World War. He was noted as a great leader in the air, leading many of his own formations into battle. As a member of the RAF during the Second World War, he commanded No. 204 Group (which later became the Desert Air Force) in North Africa. ==Early life== Raymond Collishaw was born at Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, on 22 November 1893. His father was John Edward Collishaw from Wrexham, Wales, and his mother Sarah "Sadie" Jones from Newport, Wales, but raised in Pantygog, Garw Valley. At the age of 15, the younger Collishaw joined the Canadian Fisheries Protection Services as a cabin boy. He was a lower class sailor on board the ''Alcedo'' when it sailed into the Arctic Circle in search of the Stefansson expedition. Unfortunately, it turned out that the expedition was too late to rescue the ''Karluk''. He would continue working on ships and the coast for the next seven years. By 1915, he had worked his way up to first officer.〔Constable, Miles. ("Raymond Collishaw Biography." ) ''Canadian Air Aces and Heroes,'' 2007. Retrieved: 20 March 2008.〕
