Lacombe Airfield

Miriam Green Ellis counted famous World War I fighter pilot Wilfred Reid ("Wop") May, recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1918 for his exemplary service, amongst her personal friends. In 1920, she and fellow member of the Edmonton Women's Press Club Nellie McClung visited May at Lacombe, where his aviation business was based. The trip was commemorated with a collage in one of MGE's photo albums.
