"Major Greenaway mastered the art of fishing in Irish, Scotch, and English waters at an early age, and then paused long enough to become a flying ace in World War I. Thereafter, he participated in many international tournaments, and established many records. Entering the professional field in 1939, he transferred his proficiency and his activities to this continent, became technical adviser to a fishing-tackle manufacturer, and later acted as conservation consultant to important European clients. He has also established his authority in several series of radio broadcasts on rods, lines, flies, bait, and other subjects.
