Mr. Mills is a retired Lt. Colonel from Canada's Air Force Reserve. During his last years in the
Reserve, he was involved with the restoration of a derelict F2H3 McDonnell
Banshee aircraft. Once fully restored, the aircraft was sent from Toronto to Ottawa, where it is currently on display at the Canadian Aviation Museum. Following that, Mr. Mills began researching the
story of the Banshee jet fighter operations in the Royal Canadian Navy. After
much research, travel, and many interviews, the book "Banshees in the
Royal Canadian Navy" was self-published. Currently, Mr. Mills is
finalizing his next book, "The Canadian Airmen and Airwomen in the Korean
War." This 12-year project has involved lengthy and arduous research,
and includes 600,000 words, 1,400 photos and the design and commissioning of
18 new artworks depicting the topic. The artwork will be displayed in museums
across Canada. Mr. Mills is also currently designing and
constructing a display cabinet for the National Air Force Museum of Canada in
Trenton, Ontario, which depicts Canada's involvement in the Korean War. Mr. Mills is an
Honorary Member of the Canadian Naval Air Group, the Korea Veterans Association
of Canada, the Canadian Aviation Historical Society, the Canadian Aviation
Artists Association, and the Air Force Association.
