From Air Canada 1960s G.R. McGregor Archives:

By many counts, it can be said that Air Canada 1960s G.R. McGregor was the father of Canada’s National airline. When he became President of the company in 1948, Trans-Canada Air Lines was a fledgeling carrier operating a rag-tag fleet of mostly obsolete WWII surplus aircraft.

In 1968 when he retired after twenty years as the company’s Chief Executive, much had changed for the airline and the industry. The company had re-named itself to Air Canada and was a leading world airline. From Air Canada’s archives, we honoured to present two films which celebrate the achievements of G.R. McGregor.
