Airline officials were so taken by surprise at the sight of a baby they didn't know how much to charge. "There were no facilities for babies then," she said. "I had to carry Robert's bottle and some milk.' Mrs, Cowley recalled hav- ing to change planes at Dub- lin and having to stop over at Shannon for 24 hours when all planes were grounded for modification They boarded a plane from Cairo that was enroute to Aklavick, Iceland. Mrs, Cowley said Egyptian wom- en on board kept their heads under a blanket for the entire flight. From Aklavick they went to Gander where airforce per- sonnel swarmed around Rob- ert and made a big fuss over him FLASH BLUBS Arriving in Boston, the mother and son were greeted by an avalanche of flashbulbs and reporters and radio an nouncers were on hand to record the first trans-Atlan- tic flight of a baby. "Our flight terminated in New York," she said. '"'We arrived there July 13, 1946. The actual trip took three days with 21 hours flying time." Mr. Cowley followed his wife and son by grain ship '*because tickets were hard to come by just after the war." His trip. took 21 days. Mrs. Cowley recalled hav- ing a difficult time in New York cashing a train ticket voucher because it was a Sat- urday and all the banks were closed. But she finally got it cashed and arrived in King- ston, the place of her birth. The Cowleys lived in King- ston before moving to Oshawa 15 years ago. Robert, now 20, doesn't remember much of the trip. He completed grade 13 this term at McLaughlin Collegi- ate and Vocational Institute and hopes to become an elec- tronics technician.
