  "On February 15, 1918, at a military airfield outside of Fort Worth, Texas, his plane stalled during a climb and roll maneuver. (Vernon was trying to avoid crashing into another cadet-piloted plane.) Vernon was only 75 feet in the air, but he had given the safer rear seat to his student, and died when the plane fell nose first into the ground. According to the monument at the crash site, "Neither the other pilot, his student cadet, nor Vernon's pet monkey, Jeffrey, were seriously injured." (Jeffrey's ultimate fate is unknown, but Irene's monkey, Rastas, is buried at the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in New York.) www.roadsideamerica.com/story/13035

  Ahhh I miss the old Parrot Jungle; but it's still a lovely park to visit now that it's Pinecrest Gardens.

  This is my Great Grandfather. He led a very interesting life to say the least :)

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Jarrod Hey, we'd love to know more about your great grandfather. We're always looking for information to add depth to our pictures, and I am sure there are many stories to tell about him!
