World War II Pilot Who Lived Through Four Plane Crashes Dies at 103

But after crashing his plane a second time trying to liftoff for a mission in 1944, fellow pilots started calling him “Crash.” Little did they know at the time that Harrison would crash two more times before leaving the service prior to the end of World War II.
Harrison, 103, died on Nov. 20 in Saskatchewan, Canada, according to CTV News.
Harrison living past the century mark is kind of amazing when one considers he nearly died four times in fiery plane crashes. Overall, Harrison survived 19 missions during WWII for the Royal Canadian Air Force. But despite his bravery and decorated service time, friends and family recalled Harrison as a humble soul as he was laid to rest after a funeral service on Dec. 6.
