Remembering Lt James Doohan (Vancouver, British Columbia), a Canadian war hero who later portrayed Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the television series Star Trek. Before becoming an actor, James served his beloved country with the 14th Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. On June 6, 1944, he landed on Juno Beach (Normandy), led his men through a field of mines, and neutralized two German snipers. He later recalled: "I don't know if they were killed or wounded but it shut them up". Later that day, James was shot six times. 4 bullets struck his leg, one blew off his middle finger, and the last bullet was stopped by a cigarette case protecting his heart. After recovering from his injuries, he joined the Royal Canadian Artillery, and served, as a pilot, with an Air Observation Post (AOP) squadron. In 1945, in Salisbury Plain, England, James slalomed his Auster Mk. IV aircraft between telegraph poles, just to prove it could be done. His superiors were furious, and his comrades labeled him as "the craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force". This exceptional man passed away on July 20, 2005, at the age of 85.
