    Lieutenant Irvin A. (Bert) Woodring, born February 1, 1902 in Enid, Oklahoma Territory. In 1928, Woodring was one of the U.S. Army Air Corps' "Three Musketeers of Aviation" along with fellow pilots John J. Williams and William L. Cornelius. The group performed aerobatics at the National Air Races and other such events until Williams and Cornelius died in separate air crashes within two weeks of one another in 1928. On January 20, 1933, Bert Woodring fell 2,000 feet to his death over Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, when his Consolidated P-30 two-place fighter exploded in mid-air. His hometown renamed its airport Woodring Municipal Airport in his memory.

    Caldwell crashed Oct. 15, 1930, near Lookout, Wyoming. Woodring, in a separate plane, had been flying with him but lost contact due to rough weather. He continued on with his copy of the treaty to New York, arriving the evening of Oct. 16. Woodring died Jan. 20, 1933, during a test flight over Wright Field, Ohio, when his A-11 attack plane exploded in midair. dmairfield.com/people/woodring_ia/
