USAF Colonel Paul C. Oscanyan - information wanted

Forgive me for posting something possibly a bit off topic, but I am sure
there are people here who can help me, if anyone can.

I have an old book on US "Shoulder Sleeve Insignia * Insignia of Rank,
service ribbons, decorations and insignia of the U.S. armed forces." It
is copyright 1945 Joel&Aronoff, NY.

I have the book from the estate of Ritmester (Cav. capt.?) Aage
Malling-Jacobsen, and it has a dedication written on the title page,
saying:

"Til Ritmester Aage Malling-Jacobsen med tak for en dejlig week-end,
1953. Paul C. Oscanyan, Col. U.S.A.F.R."

I have been wondering about who this person was. The book is interesting
in itself of course, but probably not uncommon; the dedication however
tickles my curiosity.

On Google, I searched for Oscanyan, and found very little, except
http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start...ov/education/w
right/bharris.doc&e=747 saying (under the year 1936):

"Thor Solberg a native of Norway, became the 1st aviator to fly from NY
to Norway. His plane was a Wright Cyclone powered Loening amphibian.
Paul Oscanyan of Bogota, NJ accompanied Solberg on the 5,300 mile
flight. Upon returning to U.S. Solberg established an airport in
Readington, NJ where the states balloon festival is held yearly"

and a reference to some papers at
http://www.colby.edu/sts/97guide/nara287-405.html saying:
"OSCANYAN, COLONEL PAUL C. Papers.
8. PAPERS RELATING TO WORLD WAR II. ca. 1942-43. 1 inch. Arranged by
type of item. These papers relate to Oscanyan's service in the Army Air
Corps in Greenland during World War II. Included are copies of Weather
Graphs from Bluie West Eight, January-March 1942."

That's really not much to go by.

Can anyone confirm whether this is the same person, and perhaps tell me
if there is anything else interesting to know about Col. Oscanyan? For
instance, what did he do post-WW II? Was he involved with weather
research or something?
