I started a Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_William_Beatty Here is his 1915 passport application: Here is his 1942 WWII draft registration: And I started one for Welsh: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_L._Welsh

undeadsinatra and Richard Arthur Norton: Thanks for the detailed background information on these two early aviators. We will add more detail to the record when we update.

Harry Bingham Brown (1883-1954), aviator, see Early Aviators. That site has the same photo. Edit: A NY Times article for 6 November 1912 discusses an aviation meet in New York, where Brown set a record. Another New York meet with Brown is mentioned in this article from 3 October 1913.

We'll add his middle name to the source data and reload the description.
