Burial/memorial information
Son of Stewart P. Corbett and Mona G. Corbett, of Pender Island, British Columbia.
Brother of Flight Lieutenant William David Corbett who died on March 8, 1945 while serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
The British Columbia Provincial Government commemorated P.O. Corbett by naming a cape after him. It is called Corbett Point and is located at 53o 17'0'' N - 192o 23'00 W.
Flight Sergeant Corbett is an outstanding NCO in his trade. He has completed 1,028 hours flying, of which 723 hours were on operational duties and has made 66 coastal operational flights. During a period of intense enemy activity he cheerfully accepted more than his share of the extra duties imposed on his squadron. His example has been an inspiration to other aircrew personnel.
