Dave...thanks for the feedback but, according to the book "Hero"...

"George Beurling was one of the pilots picked to check out one of the three aircraft. He was paired with a pilot named Leonard Cohen, an English Jew, who had served in Malta as a RAF pilot during the war."

Further..."...there is no certainty as to which of the two was in the left-hand side where the captain of a flight is seated."

Seems like as in life, his death was controversial.
