I had a great uncle who fought in WW2 as a pilot. He won some sort of medal, my dad has it. It was a part of my history I didn't really know about until I brought the medal to school and found out it was the second highest honor you could get in Canada.
I don't know about the W.Op. part, but the Air Gnr more likely means Air Gunner. Almost all the search results on W. Op results in enlisted men, like Sargents, so I'd assume it has something to do with Warrant Officers.

But the king is uncrowned in ours, and we've lost the ribbon.
Well, found him in the canadian database. Odd that he's the only Fedoruk who died in the war from Canada, since its a pretty common Ukrainian name.
William Fedoruk, Flight Lieutenant W.Op./Air Gnr. Died November 26, 1944. Does anyone know what the "W.op" means? I get the Air general part.
