Histórico
Arthur Dwight Ross was born in Winnipeg on March 18, 1907. He was the son of Donald Aynsley Ross. Ross was an Air Commodore, wounded in action during World War II; he received the George Cross for his bravery. After the war, he was appointed the Commandant of the RCAF Staff College in Toronto. Ross was later appointed Air Commander of the Western Atlantic Area's Canadian Atlantic sub-area of NATO's Allied Command Atlantic. He was also an Honorary Aide-de-Camp to the Governor General of Canada, Viscount Alexander of Tunis; his career, like that of his grandfather, enabled him to meet prominent individuals of his time. Ross retired from the RCAF in 1961. Ross died in 1981 in Kingston, Ontario.
