    Claude is my great-great uncle. I have posted a brief biography of him over at my website. I would love to be contacted to find some details and sources on some of the information that differ from our information (enlistment date, double vs single amputation, etc.): blackboardbattlefield.com/2012/04/09/private-claude-h-cox... Thanks for sharing this. It is a great tribute.

    www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/NewProduct.cfm?product_id=3879 shows a model kit of the plane and states, "Texas Millionaire S.E.J. Cox sponsored the design of this aircraft, along with the Cactus Kitten 1, to enter in the 1920 Gordon Bennett Cup Race. Before crashing and destroying the aircraft in France, pilot Roland Rohlfs hand painted “Texas Wildcat” in black in the fuselage."

    New-York tribune., September 12, 1920, Page 3, Image 61 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-09-12/ed-... is a full-page piece on the American entries for the Gordon Bennett race to be held in France on September 27, 1920.

    Clarence Coombs, Roland Rohlfs, S.E.J. Cox (LOC)
    suggests that Cox, an oil magnate, is the man reaching towards his wife. The pilot, Roland Rohlfs, is presumably the guy in the helmet.

    The Rock Island Argus and Daily Union., September 06, 1920, Image 6, bottom of column 3
    chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn92053933/1920-09-06/ed-...
    indicates that Cox and his wife both commissioned planes as entries in the Gordon Bennett race.
  • Art Siegel said:
    According to a NYT article, Rohlfs crashed and destroyed the plane during a warmup flight for the Gordon Bennett Cup competition, on September 26, 1920 in Etampes, France. Clarence Coombs was the backup pilot for the flight.
    However, it doesn't appear that either Cox plane competed in the race.
