Dunstan Graham ’44 *47

DUNSTAN DIED of cancer July 24, 1992, at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital, New Brunswick, N.J. Princeton, the town where he was born, and the University were a large part of his life. Dunstan's father was an Economics professor on the faculty. From Exeter Dunstan returned to major in aeronautical engineering, graduating with a B.S.F. in '43. He lettered in crew and edited the PRINCETON ENGINEER. Senior year he roomed with Charlie Gordon; his club was Cannon. After graduation he worked briefly in the Controls Group at Fleetwings, before earning his wings and commission as a navigator in the Army Air Corps. He married Arline Marie Roesch in '44 and had two sons from that union. He received his M.S.E. from Princeton in '47. The focus of his subsequent 15year career with industry was the understanding and automating of manned aircraft flight controls. In 1959 he accepted a Princeton faculty position and in 1965 was named a full professor. Two of his books, with Duane McRuer. on controls remain classics. Dunstan established the Aerospace Systems and Mission Analysis Lab and was a founding principal investigator for the FAA/NASAsponsored joint University Program on Air Transportation Research. He retired in 1980 to pursue his professional interests as author, consultant, and successful investor in technological ventures. Of him a friend said, "A fascinating, brilliant guy, a bit prickly but grand company." To the entire Graham family and his devoted companion of later years, Anne Gianaras, our sadness on your and our loss.
