1951.... H. J. Williamson has been closely associated with radio aviation since he joined the Department in 1937.

 

He served in Western Canada in the early developments of the trans-Canada airway and was later appointed District Radio Aviation Engineer at Toronto.

 

During the planning and development of air services along the Northwest Staging Route, during the war, Mr. Williamson was transferred to Edmonton, to be in charge of construction of radio aids to navigation on the Northwest Staging Route. Establishment of a communication system in connection with the development of the airway greatly facilitated the planning and construction of the Alaska Highway. Last year, he was chosen as a candidate for the Defence College Course at Kingston.

 

 H.J. Williamson was born in Regina, Sask., in 1909, was educated at Saint John, N. B. and graduated from the University of New Brunswick in 1930 with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.

 

He joined the Radio Division of the Department of Transport in 1937, first serving in Western Canada and later at Toronto as District Radio Engineer. In 1941 he was transferred to Edmonton and was appointed District Controller of Air Services, Moncton, in 1950. He attended the National Defence College course at Kingston, Ont. in 1949.
