Wing Commander Robert Carl 'Moose' Fumerton DFC* AFC (21 March 1913 – 10 July 2006) was the top scoring Canadian night-fighter flying ace during World War II.
He then spent seven years in the North-West Territories and the Yukon surveying, mapping, and gold prospecting.
In June 1941 he transferred to night fighting duties and joined the newly formed No 406 (RCAF) Squadron, based in Northumberland.
Pat Bing, Fumerton became the island's top-scoring night fighter pilot, claiming nine victories by the end of August 1941.
His first success over Malta came on the night of 24 June, an Italian bomber, before returning to refuel and rearm.
On the night of 10 August, when taking off to attack a force of incoming bombers both his engines failed.
Fumerton shot down 14 enemy aircraft, the highest tally among RCAF night fighter aces, being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar.
