Hurricane Hunters / Bermuda / USAF c.1948

Hurricane Hunters / Bermuda / USAF c.1948 Most pictures taken from 1946-1951 in Bermuda or on sorties for very long weather recon. by Verne R. Ridgway. These are pictures taken by Verne R.

(Bob) Ridgway between c. 1946- 1951. He was based in Bermuda 1947-1951 with the Hurricane Hunters. From Bermuda, the squadron would fly many miles doing weather research. I have pictures of these guys in Nova Scotia, Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, Tripoli, Azores, Florida, Bermuda....And they would fly over the North Pole in route to Iceland. These were true weather pioneers in the days before satelites. They deserve recognition.
