Joe Gilmore (1900 – 1945): Pioneer Aviator
By Kevin Crangle John Joseph Gilmore was raised in Ardglass, Co. Down by his mother Elizabeth (nee Crangle). After training as a motor engineer, he acquired a fascination with the then developing aviation industry. In 1932 he received his Irish Free State pilot's licence and was gliding champion of Ireland. As a member of the Irish Aero Club, Joe historically made the first parachute descent onto Irish soil on 17 April 1933 at Baldonnel Airport. He immigrated to Montreal in 1938 to operate a transatlantic base for Imperial Airways (later BOAC). During World War II he was stationed at Gander with RAF Ferry Command and granted military rank of Flight Lieutenant. He quickly earned a reputation in the region as an unofficial, one-man search and rescue unit, conducting numerous mercy flights. He lost his life on 1 May 1945, crashing en route to Montreal in fog near Prince Edward Island. Joe is the only civilian buried in the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Gander, North America’s only CWGC cemetery.
