With broken ankles, crash survivor crawls to safety
By Kenyon WALLACE with a report from James
BRADSHAW,
Page
A18
One man is dead and another is in hospital after a single-vehicle
crash early yesterday morning in which police say the survivor,
who suffered two broken ankles, pulled himself from the wreckage
and crawled half a kilometre through the snow to a nearby gun
club.
Brandon MANTHAU, 22, was a passenger in Nathan
MAGEE's black
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche when the eastbound sport utility vehicle
plowed into a dense wood beside Herald Road, just past Kennedy
Road near Newmarket, around 1 a.m.
York Regional Police said they were notified of the crash when
the vehicle's OnStar navigational system, triggered by the release
of the airbags, could not make contact with the two Friends.
But when police arrived at what they believed to be the crash
site, they could not find the wreck anywhere. "The location police
were given by OnStar was not correct," said Constable Marina
ORLOVSKY, media-relations officer for the York police.
Police spent nearly 1½ hours combing an area about 10 kilometres
west of the actual crash site. Meanwhile, Mr.
MANTHAU reached
the gun club about two hours after the accident and set off the
building's security alarm. A man at the gun club called police,
and Mr. MANTHAU was able to lead them to the crash site, Constable
ORLOVSKY said.
Mr. MAGEE, 24, a heavy-machinery operator at a King City pipeline
and utility contractor, was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr.
MANTHAU
was taken to Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto, where he remained
last night.
"He's a very strong young man who comes from hearty stock," said
Judy MANTHAU,
Mr.
MANTHAU's aunt. "When you're his age, you'll
do what you have to do if the adrenalin takes over. It's really
a case of mind over matter."
Police would not say how fast the sport utility vehicle was moving
or if alcohol was involved.
An OnStar representative in Detroit was unable to comment about
what might have caused Mr.
MAGEE's system to provide an incorrect
location.
The OnStar system uses four separate satellites and a Global
Position System receiver to pinpoint a car's location. The Global
Position System system uses the amount of time taken for a radio
signal to travel from a satellite to a specific location in order
to calculate distances.
The technology should be able to determine location to a margin
of error of only a few metres. However, certain conditions could
have affected the system's accuracy.
"It is possible that anything from a heavily wooded area to inclement
weather could impact satellite signals," said Patty Faith, public-relations
manager for General Motors Canada.
Downed trees almost two feet in diameter, flattened bushes and
deep tire tracks in the snow marked the spot yesterday afternoon
where Mr. MAGEE's sport utility vehicle left Herald Road. Friends
and co-workers of the Willow Beach native comforted one another
at the accident site and recalled a happy and hardworking young
man.
A bouquet of flowers with a red ribbon inscribed with the words
"Pals Forever" was nailed to a nearby tree.
"You'd never find a better kid in your whole life," said a close
family friend who wished to remain anonymous. "I've known him
since he was just a boy and he was the nicest person. I'm just
devastated."
But some locals weren't surprised to hear about the accident.
Rusty SMITH works at 404 Auto Recycling, which sits at the top
of the hillside at the corner of Herald and Kennedy Roads. He
recalled rolling his van near the intersection two summers ago
after a near-miss with another vehicle driving in his lane.
"That road is just treacherous," he said. "It's really narrow
and there aren't any shoulders."
The speed limit along Herald Road is 50 kilometres an hour, but
Mr. SMITH said "people always speed along the road." The road
can get very slippery in snow or rain, he added.

MAGWOOD o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-08-08 published
Told he was too old to be a pilot, he nevertheless became an
ace
Toronto life-insurance salesman who joined the Royal Canadian
Air Force at 26 took command of a squadron and was personally
decorated by the king at Buckingham Palace
By Matt HARTLEY,
Page
S10
For Charles
MAGWOOD, "shooting a line" was something a respectable
war veteran just didn't do. The buyer for Simpson-Sears abhorred
anyone who told tall tales that glorified the violence and brutality
of the Second World War. For his part, the former Royal Canadian
Air Force Spitfire pilot rarely spoke of his own experiences,
even though he had been decorated for gallantry by George VI.
A talented and fearless flier, Mr.
MAGWOOD was credited with
destroying five enemy aircraft and damaging 3½ others while serving
with Nos. 403 and 421 Squadrons in England. At one point, he
shot down three Nazi planes in two days -- something he never
told his children.
Mr. MAGWOOD grew up on Dovercourt Road in what was then Toronto's
west end. His surgeon father was the head of obstetrics at Western
Hospital and his mother was a well-known pianist and one of the
first musicians in Canada to record for RCA Victor. Charles
learned to play the piano at an early age and had a keen eye
for mathematics.
As a teenager, he developed into a star athlete at the University
of Toronto Schools, an academically elite boys school where he
excelled in wrestling, basketball and track and field. He set
a record in the 220-yard dash that stood for 24 years until it
was bested by someone with the same name -- his nephew, Charles
Johnston MAGWOOD.
Evenings were spent learning sonatas on the
piano or playing basketball at the Young Men's Christian Association
across the street from home.
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in commerce from the
University of Toronto, Mr.
MAGWOOD went to work selling group
insurance at Canada Life. There, he spied a red-haired secretary
named Marion Cecilia
KING, who worked in another department on
his floor. He engineered a meeting after discovering they had
a mutual acquaintance, and a few days later, a "chance" encounter
on the street set the course of a long relationship.
Their romance was interrupted by war. Even though he was 26,
Mr. MAGWOOD enlisted in the air force, where most of his fellow
recruits were many years his junior.
Initially considered too old to fly, he was assigned to observer
training. However, it wasn't long before the demand for pilots
pushed him into the cockpit of a Spitfire. After training in
Llandow, Wales, he was posted to Royal Canadian Air Force 403 "Wolf"
Squadron at Martlesham Heath airfield in Suffolk.
On April 4, 1943, the squadron was assigned to escort a formation
of U.S. bombers sent to attack a German factory on the outskirts
of Paris. Along the way, it was jumped by a flock of Luftwaffe
Me 109s and Focke-Wulf 190s. Mr.
MAGWOOD attacked a group of
the enemy fighters at close range, destroying two and forcing
another to retreat. Each of his kills was recorded between the
pale blue covers of his logbook. Every mission and every battle
was recounted in painstaking detail. Small swastikas denoted
hits, larger, circled swastikas were reserved for confirmed kills.
His preferred method of attack was to get in as close to the
enemy as possible. An entry from April 17, 1943, the day he shot
down two Germans, reads: "Blasted one with cannon shells in engine
cockpit and fuselage from 500 yds and he spun down to the left
pouring grey-white smoke. Chased two more back towards French
coast."
About the kill the day before, he wrote: "It was one of those
you dream of getting and before they knew what happened we got
5 destroyed, 1 prob. and 1 dam. I opened on mine from about 150 yds
and he completely disintegrated, leaving only a black cloud."
The entries are marked by a large, dark swastikas ringed by nickel-sized
circles.
On another mission to escort 60 B-17 bombers to France's Cherbourg
Peninsula, he and another pilot attacked a German fighter: "[We]
jumped a FW 190 out of the sun and plastered him from 350-10 yds.,
narrowly avoiding collision. He went down almost vertically,
pouring white smoke. Last seen at 5-6,000 feet in same attitude,
pouring black smoke. Given probable; shared letter of commendation
for our efforts."
Not long afterward, he described having some "good fun with 20 FW 190s
and Me 109s… My section peeled off on 4 190s -- mine a flamer.
Later saw FW 190 coming up fast on 3 Spits about 1,000 yards
on port. Dashed over and knocked him down as he was firing… bits
and pieces came back from cannon burst of 3½ sec. He rolled over
and went down vertically. Saw him at about 5,000 feet in same
attitude, but can only claim a damaged."
Like many fighter pilots, Mr.
MAGWOOD would have received a higher
score if not for the scrupulously high reporting standards set
by the Royal Canadian Air Force and allied air forces. Regulations
required that a kill be confirmed by other pilots or observers
on the ground, and then undergo scrutiny - he may have downed
as many as 10 enemy aircraft. Even so, his five official kills
qualified him as an ace.
Interestingly, the "old man" of the squadron never took a single
hit in about 200 missions, while other pilots as much as 10 years
his junior failed to return from their first sortie.
Mr. MAGWOOD became a mainstay of the squadron, eventually rising
to the rank of wing commander. He even designed the squadron's
crest, with the words "Stalk and Strike" emblazoned across the
bottom. On July 13, 1943, he was summoned to Buckingham Palace,
where, in recognition of his three kills in two days, the king
pinned on him the Distinguished Flying Cross.
In October of 1943, Mr.
MAGWOOD was transferred to Royal Canadian
Air Force 421 Squadron, where he took over as commanding officer
and continued to lead missions. Two months later, he was grounded
because of serious sinus problems that were probably caused by
flying at high altitude; he never again went aloft in combat.
He remained at his desk job, champing at the bit, until 1945.
After returning from the war, he and Marion were married at Timothy
Eaton Memorial Church on October 5, 1945. They had three children.
Mr. MAGWOOD returned to Canada Life for a time but soon left
to work for a friend at the Robert Simpson Co. in Toronto, where
he eventually became a buyer for Simpson-Sears catalogue. Because
of his job, the family moved often, to the likes of London, Ontario,
and Montreal, but eventually returned to Toronto.
More than anything, Mr.
MAGWOOD was a family man who enjoyed
nothing more than spending time with his children. "He travelled
so much, but when he came home he wanted to catch up," daughter
Mary recalled. "He'd ask me how I was liking my ballet lessons&hellip
he was a very loving and understanding man."
However, he was haunted by memories of the war. son John remembered
being awakened at night by the sound of screaming; it was his
father having nightmares. When John asked about the screaming
over breakfast, his father refused to discuss it, but evidently
reconsidered. A few mornings later, he looked at his 10-year-old
son and felt compelled to explain. The screaming, he said, was
over letters he had to write as wing commander - it was his job
to tell families back home that their sons had been killed.
"It was still eating him up inside," John recalled. His father
looked relieved to have talked about the dreams, and John told
him he was not to have any more nightmares. John never heard
the screams again.
While Mr. MAGWOOD's logbook reveals much methodically recorded
information, he didn't share it with his family. The horrors
of war just weren't something he wanted to talk about.
"For Dad, it was inappropriate to dwell on the details," son
Stephen said. "The war was a nasty piece of business that everybody
was engaged in, and a kill was just an unfortunate circumstance
of war. Claiming a kill was much less important."
A savvy money manager, Mr.
MAGWOOD returned from the war with
nearly $10,000 to his name and continued to invest wisely through
the years. By all accounts, he always knew a deal when there
was one to be had. On one occasion, he took the family on a road
trip across the United States in their 1964 Buick Wildcat. Arriving
on the West Coast, he received an offer for the car he couldn't
refuse. He sold it and the family flew back to Toronto. An astute
real-estate investor, he often owned homes that were grander
than those of his bosses.
In 1974, he retired from Sears to run a furniture-design business.
Nine years later, he gave that up to spend more time with his
family.
Charles MacLachlan
MAGWOOD was born in Toronto on November 27,
1913. He died of pneumonia at Sunnybrook War Veterans Residence
in Toronto on July 9, 2007. He was 93. He is survived by his
wife Marion and children John, Stephen and Mary. He also leaves
seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
