    		Lester Bowles Pearson in 1957
    Pearson became a lieutenant in the Canadian Army Medical Corps and then a Flying Officer in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps. It is here where he got his nickname "Mike" for his flying instructor thought his real name was "wimpy" and a poor name for a flying ace.
