Biographical notes:

Colonel William A. McRae Jr. of the United States Army Air Corps served as one of several U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff military advisers to the San Francisco Conference held in June of 1945 to coordinate an international organization, which later took the title United Nations, and draft a charter. McRae's primary responsibility was to ensure that the U.N. charter was consistent with the Inter-American defensive structure, an arrangement made among the American Republics during the Second World War for the purposes of discouraging non-American nations from intervening in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere.
