Biography
He passed tests at the Curtiss Flying School, Toronto ON, 17/12/1916. He joined the Canadian Air Board as a pilot-navigator and was assigned to the air station at Jericho Beach (Vancouver). On 24/07/1921 he crashed a Felixstowe F.3 (G-CYDI) at Thurston Bay BC. None of the five persons aboard were injured, but the court of inquiry was very critical of Fraser who was described as "inclined to be nervous in the air" and who was held to have over-reacted and put the aircraft down too heavily when an engine faltered or misfired.
