McGregor, Gordon R. (Gordon Roy), 1901-1971 : Gordon Roy McGregor (1901-1971) was born in Montreal and educated at St. Andrew's College in Toronto and McGill University in Montreal, graduating from the latter in 1923 with a degree in Engineering. He then joined Bell Telephone, serving at various centres in Ontario and Quebec, and by 1938 had become Montreal District Manager. His flying career began at Kingston in 1932 and the following year he gained his Private Pilot's License at Ottawa. He was awarded the Webster Trophy as the top amateur pilot in Canada in 1935, 1936 and 1938.

In 1936, he joined the RCAF Reserve and was awarded his RCAF Pilot's wings in 1938. He served with No 115 (Auxiliary) Squadron before the war. In 1940, he went overseas with No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron, serving with it throughout the Battle of Britain. He was credited with downing 5 enemy aircraft and with damaging several others and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Returned to Canada in 1942, he commanded the RCAF Wing in the Aleutian Campaign, 1942-1943, and for his services was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. He returned overseas early in 1944 and served as the Officer Commanding No. 126 Wing of the Second Tactical Air Force in France and Holland during 1944-1945. He was released from the RCAF in 1945 with the rank of Group Captain.

After the war, McGregor joined Trans-Canada Air Lines as General Traffic Manager at Montreal, 1946-1948, and three years later was named President of Trans-Canada Air Lines, 1948-1968. He was the principal figure in guiding the airline through its years of expansion, with the result that Air Canada, as it was renamed in 1965, became one of the world's leading air carriers. He was named a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1968 and was posthumously inducted into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame in 1974.

At the time of his death in 1971 he was Chairman of Orenda Ltd. and a Director of Hawker Siddeley Canada Ltd.
