The Great Escape - Gordon Kidder

Erin Gregory, the Curator at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, joined us to look into the life and escape of her fellow Canadian, Gordon Kidder, who was a linguistics expert, and who teamed up with Tom Kirby-Green for the Great Escape. Erin is responsible for managing a collection of more than 8,500 objects and has curated many exhibitions at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. She is currently managing research projects that focus on women’s experiences in the Royal Canadian Air Force and the impact of aviation on northern Canada.
