Howard Thomas Orville
Howard Thomas Orville (June 16, 1901 – May 24, 1960) was an American naval officer and meteorologist.
==Naval career==
He was born in Saratoga, Wyoming, the son of William Orville and Lucy Dale (Wiant). After attending the Army and Navy Preparatory School during 1918–19, he matriculated to the United States Naval Academy, graduating in 1925. Thereafter he studied at the Naval Postgraduate School 1928–29〔 and spent a year of study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was awarded a Master's degree in 1930.〔
In 1935, Lt. Orville served as the meteorologist for the U.S. Navy's sole entry in the James Gordon Bennett International Balloon Race held in Warsaw, Poland. The pilot was Lt. Raymond E. Tyler, an experienced airship man with a service record dating back to World War I. Despite making a good team, the two men came in last place.〔 In 1940 he was named head of the Naval Aerological Service, a post he would hold until 1943 when he became Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air).〔 During World War II he was notable for charting the weather for the 1942 Doolittle Raid. He served as weather adviser for naval operations in the Pacific Ocean and for Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa.〔
In 1946, he served on the Special Subcommittee on the Upper Atmosphere.〔 The following year, Captain Orville designed the meteorological program used during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, which was headed up by Finn Ronne.〔 From 1945–47 (and later from 1950–54) he served as a councilor to the American Meteorological Society and was elected president of the society for the 1948–49 term.〔 In 1950 he retired from the Navy and was named director of engineering for the Friez Instrument Division of Bendix Aviation Corporation.〔
