He was 68. Mr. McCurdy, who was born at Baddeck, N.S., watched his brother, J.A.D. McCurty, make the first airplane flight in the Commonweath. He was educated in Toronto, at St. Andrew's College and the University of Toronto. In the Second World War he was with De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd., and after the war formed the firm of manufacturing agents, Graham and McCurty.
