Part two of the three-part story commemorating the Maine WWI aviator 100 years ago: Shortly after the Armistice of November 11, 1918, that brought the Great War to an inconclusive end, prominent Boston citizens promoted an exhibit of New England aviators. This exhibit, which included a portrait of each aviator and a brief biography, was so well received by attendees, that the sponsoring patriots published a thousand copies of a two volume work titled New England Aviators. It is from this collection, for the most part, that the authors identified our "Maine WWI Aviators." Each had a significant Maine connection, either through birth, through education within our state during their formative years, or through their college education.
