Sparky,  

     F. Trubee Davison kick started U.S. Naval Aviation as a sophomore at Yale in 1916.  His father bought a Curtiss Model F and 11 of his classmates joined him at his house at Peacock Point (designed by Walker and Gillette) in the Summer of 1916 with the goal of creating an anti submarine patrol unit that would be under the command of the U.S. Navy.  Through his family's connections, he was able to persuade the Navy to establish a Naval Reserve Air unit.  One of the members of this Yale unit (David Ingalls) became the US Navy's first fighter ace and only Navy ace of WWI (the Yale hockey rink is named after him).  The rest is history.

     If you haven't already, check out the book, 'The Millionaire's Unit' by Marc Wortman.  It was also made into a documentary film in 2015.  You can watch this if you have Amazon Prime.







Sparky, you have the con.

Thanks,
I was aware of the Millionaires flying club at Yale. I think flyboys chronicled some of that as well.
Ok
Here goes for your next quiz! Now no word search matching phrases and such. Get out there and look around. You’ll learn something, I always do!

1. Thousands built
2. Conventional Configuration
3. Had a crew of one sometimes more
4. Even the last of many versions were considered underpowered.
