• Notes

  Charles Kenneth Mackinnon Douglas was to many the greatest synoptic forecaster of this century. He was born in Edinburgh on 29 May 1893, the elder son of Dr K. M . Douglas, and his interest in meteorology was kindled as an 11-year-old schoolboy. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy, where he twice gained awards for being top pupil, and at King's College, Cambridge, where he read mathematics. In the Great War, Douglas received his commission in the Royal Scots, but was soon transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in which he was involved in a serious crash during combat training as a fighter pilot.
