Who was the air traffic controller voice? I recall reading somewhere that the 'Air traffic controller' voice (you've heard it on TV on many occasions) started with one specific person and his mannerisms have been copied by many air traffic controllers since, particularly in the US.  The article mentioned his name but I can't find the article and can't remember his name.

What was the name of this chap?

Edit: I think that I read this in Fate Is The Hunter, an autobiography of a pilot working in the '30s to '60s.  Unfortunately I don't still have my copy so I can't look it up.
You are thinking of a reference to Charles ("Chuck") Yeager.  He was certainly not an air traffic controller, but there has definitely been a statement published in print saying that his manner of speaking over the radio has been the model that has been copied numerous other times (in movies and by other pilots in real life, as I recall the statement saying.) 

The reference was in the book "The Right Stuff"-- pages 33-34 and possibly a few more (not shown) in this ebook edition.
