  • Journal of San Diego History V 51-2
    “The Service Knows and Will Remember” The Aircraft Crash Memorial on Japacha Ridge Alexander D. Bevil Winner of the James S. Copley Library Award Located at an elevation of nearly 4,600 feet on a stone-lined terraced ledge just below and east of Japacha Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a lonely memorial dating back to San Diego’s golden days of military aviation. Erected on May 22, 1923, and refurbished later in 1934 and 1968, it consists of the battered and burnt V12- cylinder aircraft engine mounted on a stone and concrete pedestal. Affixed to the pedestal’s base is a bronze plaque, dedicating the structure to the memory of U.S. Army pilot First Lieutenant Charles F. Webber and U.S. Cavalry Colonel Francis C. Marshall, “who fell on this spot on December 7, 1922.” All but forgotten by most modern military historians, the memorial marks the site of one of the most sought after crash sites in U.S. military history. It is also associated with several notable individuals who would go on to play major roles in U.S. military aviation history. On December 7, 1922, between 9:05 and 9:15 A.M., a twin-seat U.S. Army Air Service DeHaviland DH4B model biplane took off from Rockwell Field, North Island.1 Behind the controls was twenty-six-year-old pilot First Lieutenant Charles F.

She was the seventh and youngest daughter of George G and Emma Ross Thompson. As an infant she was very small, weighing only three pounds when she was born. For that reason she was called “Tiny”. She remained small even as an adult, topping out at a little over 4 feet tall and weighing 80 pounds. When she was six years old the family moved to Hen- derson in Vance County. Ms. Thompson’s early life was difficult both as a child and in early adulthood. In 1905 she married William A. Jacobs and had one daughter in 1906. Her husband abandoned her shortly thereafter. In 1907 Thompson attended the North Carolina State Fair and saw an aerial show that featured Charles Broad- wick. He went up in a hot air balloon, climbed over the side and parachuted back down to earth. Tiny was de- termined to join his act. “When I saw that balloon go up, I knew that’s all I ever wanted to do!” She spoke with Charles Broadwick and asked to become part of his show.

  • A Brief History of Our Fraternity Part 2 – the Founders By: James Mccarthy
    A Brief History of our Fraternity Part 2 – The Founders By: James McCarthy In a letter written in the 1990s by one of our early Fraternity members the concept of the Silver Wings Fraternity took place during a conversation between five men on a flight from California to Pennsylvania in an early Lockheed Constellation. Their idea was to recognize the twenty-fifth anniversary, “Silver Anniversary”, of a pilot’s first solo in a powered aircraft. Thus, the name of our Fraternity was coined high over the Western part of our country during the summer of 1958. In Part 1 of this history series of our Fraternity we began with some background and history about Russell J Brinkley. “Russ” is deservedly referred to as our “Founder”, however the Fraternity was begun as the result of the combined efforts of Russ and four other prominent aviators of the day who formed the nucleus of the organization; Edwin Lyons, John Hickey, Walter Harvey Jr, and Harry Davis. In this installment I will cover some of the career highlights and accomplishments of the first two of these co- founders. Ed Lyons When a GA pilot hears the name Ed Lyons it is instinctive to first think “Zahn’s Airport” in Long Island and certainly he was an integral part of making Zahn’s a major venue for the development of General aviation in New York and in the United States. In fact, there is a rich colorful history of Ed’s flying career prior to Zahn’s. Born Edwin Leibowitz on Feb 4, 1910 in Brooklyn, New York, he was a fighter pilot, bomber pilot, flight instructor and flight examiner.
