FIGHTER PILOT KILLED
Mr and Mrs E. J. Peck, of Burns st, Maryborough, have received advice that their elder son, Sgt Maxwell Peck, RAAF, was killed in an aircraft accident at Uranquinty, near Wagga, where he was engaged in training operations. Sgt Peck, who only recently returned to Australia from Canada, after several months' training, was a fighter pilot. Born and educated in Maryborough, he was an engineering draughtsman in civilian life. He had great difficulty in getting release from his employment to join the RAAF.
