Wop May
Wilfrid Reid "Wop" May (March 20, 1896〔("Wilfrid May." ) ''The Aerodrome.'' Retrieved: May 6, 2013.〕 – June 21, 1952), was a Canadian flying ace in the First World War and a leading post-war aviator. He was the final allied pilot to be pursued by Manfred von Richthofen before the German ace was shot down on the Western Front in 1918. After the war, May returned to Canada pioneering the role of a bush pilot while working for Canadian Airways in Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
==Early life==
May was born in Carberry, Manitoba, son of a carriage maker. His family moved to Edmonton in 1902, and while on the way they stayed with family and friends, and his two-year-old cousin, Mary Lumsden, could not pronounce Wilfrid and called him "Woppie". This gave him his nickname "Wop". He attended Victoria School (now Victoria School of Performing and Visual Arts) while in Edmonton.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fighter Pilot )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Victoria School description )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aces )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="WOP" MAY'S TRIBUTE )〕
