George Bertram Cockburn OBE (8 January 1872 – 25 February 1931) was a research chemist who became an aviation pioneer. He represented Great Britain in the first international air race at Rheims and co-founded the first aerodrome for the army at Larkhill. He also trained the first four pilots of what was to become the Fleet Air Arm. During World War I he worked as a Government Inspector of Aeroplanes for the Royal Flying Corps at Farnborough and subsequently became Head of the Accidents Branch of the Department of the Controller-General of Civil Aviation at the Air Ministry.〔(Raleigh, Sir Walter, (1922), ''The War in the Air'' ), page 143, Hamish Hamilton SBN 241 01805 6〕
==Early life==
Bertram Cockburn was the youngest child of George Cockburn, a Liverpool provisions merchant, and his second wife Katherine Jessie Stitt (née Bertram). Both his parents having previously been widowed, he had four older half siblings from his parents' first marriages – John Scott Cockburn, Ada Cockburn, Mary Cockburn and Katie Stitt.〔BMD Records England and Scotland〕〔(Taynton Memorial Inscriptions )〕 The family lived across the River Mersey at Lingdale Lodge, Shrewsbury Road in Oxton, Birkenhead.〔1871,1881,1901 Census Records〕
Several earlier generations of the Cockburn family had lived in Inveresk south east of Edinburgh.〔Registers of Inveresk Parish Kirk〕 However, George Cockburn (Senior), who had travelled south to seek his fortune, had become sufficiently prosperous to be able to send both his sons to be educated at fee paying schools in Scotland. John, who became a Presbyterian minister,〔Records of St. Paul's United Reformed Church (formerly Presbyterian) Harrogate〕 attended Edinburgh Academy then Glasgow University 〔Records of Edinburgh Academy〕 and George (Junior) was sent to Loretto School in Musselburgh from 1887 until 1892.〔Records of Loretto School〕
In October 1892 Bertram Cockburn entered New College, Oxford to read Natural Sciences specialising in Chemistry. He graduated in 1895.〔Register of New College, Oxford〕
