He took a lot of photos which can be found on my Facebook Page – Hurricane Hunters/Bermuda/c.USAF c.1948. These guy’s had a lot of ‘guts’ to fly into the unknown in the days before satelites. They flew in B-17s & B-29s with little hope of being found if they had to go down. They did put a lifeboat under one of the planes.??

Congrats for a Great Piece.
