According to family information my father was a part of an early Hurricane Project. He was not a big wig but a WWII meterologist. He got his educarion through the Army Air Corp. I have been trying to get more information about the Hurricane Project after WWII. My mother said that they lived just north of Lake Okeechobee. I was also told to me that he flew up into hurricans.
Any more information about the Thunderstorm Project just after WWII would be greatfully appreciated. again Gleva at basin@imt.com

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
