Interesting Facts

• Son of Robert and Gertrude Hood, of Vancouver BC. Before enlisting he worked as an office clerk for the Canadian Pacific Railway. L/AC Hood had recently graduated from the No. 3 Wireless School in Manitoba when he and five other trainees were involved in a fatal accident. Two R.C.A.F. training planes collided head-on in midair near the No. 5 Bombing and Gunnery School in Dafoe, Saskatchewan. L/AC Hood as well as two others - brothers E.P. and C.G. Harris - were fatally injured in the accident and later succumbed to their injuries. Hood was 21 when he died. Two others were killed instantly and the last, Sgt.-Pilot W.M. Haggart, emerged from the accident uninjured.
