Everybody's talking about the weather? Metmen in Wartime is a detailed account
of the meteorological services in practice in Canada during World War II. Why
were forecasts so crucial during the war? For anti-submarine warfare and
convoy protection operations from bases along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
But Metmen is also a thorough examination of the men behind the forecasts: the
nearly 400 science graduates who became "metmen" and were stationed at flying
training schools. This book explains the importance of aviation weather
forecasts and instruction in meteorology for student pilots at the Royal
Canadian Air Force stations established under the British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan. Cooperation with the United States military weather services is
also examined.
