Weather Forcaster McTaggert-Cowan

We recently posted a page dedicated to Dr. McTaggert-Cowan, , brought over to Gander by the British Air Ministry in the late 30’s, to forecast the weather for those traversing the North Atlantic. Originally to assist the flying boats out of Botwood, he later became an intricate part of Ferry Command’s success in their objective. No doubt he was a scientist in his own right and later in life was acknowledged for his pioneering work in aviation weather forecasting. Many of his meteorology theories are in use today. However reading his interview on this webpage, shows his very opinionated views on the role of Gander airport's activities. I take the liberty in begging for your consideration of the gentleman’s age when giving this interview. Whatever your opinion may be, his work in Gander during this era was of great value to the history of commercial & military aviation.
