    Presumably this is Gaultier as well, not Boyriven:

  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    It definitely seems, from an Arnold Genthe photo of Boyriven ( www.loc.gov/pictures/item/agc1996007092/PP/ ) that the Bain photo is not showing Boyriven, and that we earlier sorted this out in the variant Bain photo ( www.loc.gov/pictures/item/ggb2006000097/ ). We'll adjust the description for this photo. Thanks!

Chamberlin they set an endurance record of 51 hours, 11 minutes, and 25 seconds in the air. He later flew in the Spanish Civil War in the Yankee Squadron.[1] He was known as the "bad boy of the air". He received numerous fines and suspensions for flying stunts such as flying under bridges or flying too close to buildings." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Acosta In 1917 he was appointed chief instructor, Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps at Hazelhurst Field, Long Island www.worldlibrary.org/articles/Bert_Acosta

    A friend of my family. I have a copy of a letter from my cousin's wife to him. Eddie August Schneider (1911-1940) was my cousin and they both flew for the Loyalists in Spain in 1937.
