From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: This week we look back to the 1940s and an incredible feat accomplished by another big name in meteorological circles who was a pilot and not a meteorologist. Col. Joseph Duckworth is lauded for being the first person to intentionally fly through a hurricane. And I bet you won’t believe some of the facts surrounding his flight. Be sure to listen in on this one.
