John Angus MacLean PC OC DFC (May 15, 1914 – February 15, 2000) was a politician and farmer in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
MacLean left farming to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II, serving from 1939 to 1947 and achieving the rank of Wing Commander.
MacLean's bomber was shot down, and he evaded capture in Nazi-occupied Europe with the help of the Belgian escape-line Comète with Andrée De Jongh.
In 1976, MacLean was persuaded to leave federal politics and take the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Prince Edward Island which had languished in opposition for a decade.
[2] MacLean led the party to victory in 1979,[3] and formed a government that emphasized rural community life, banned new shopping malls and instituted a Royal Commission to examine land use and sprawl.
