Veteran reflects as she takes to sky in WWII era bomber
It was 1944 when a young Theresa Brassard went to the Prince Albert Armouries to enlist in the army.
At just 18 years old, Brassard worked multiple jobs that barely paid her way when she decided to do something else with her life.
“There has to be a better way for me [to make a] living,” she thought at the time.
Brassard, now 90, was a passenger on one of only 34 WWII era B-25 Bombers left in the world Friday. The iconic aircraft is in Prince Albert as part of the Legends of Victory Flying Tour. It was built in 1944, the same year Brassard enlisted.
