Intends to profile half dozen pioneer flyers who were all promising graduates of the Wright Brothers' School of Aviation, which flourished at Simms Station near Dayton, Ohio, from 1910 to 1916. This title includes an appendices that provide a timeline of the Wrights from 1900 to 1948 and a list of students of the Wright Flying School.

The six pioneers profiled here were promising graduates of the Wright Brothers'' School of Aviation, which flourished in Ohio from 1910 to 1916. These airmen fairly represent their 113 fellow alumni in their all-consuming love of flying.

The pilots are Arthur L. Welsh, a Russian immigrant who rose to become Orville Wright''s chief instructor; Howard Warfield Gill, heir to an international tea dynasty; Archibald Freeman, whose flour-bag bombing of Boston Harbor won him attention as an early exponent of the supremacy of air power; Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, whose promise as a pilot quickly soured; George A. Gray, whose marriage resulted in an extraordinary husband and wife exhibition team; and Howard Max Rinehart, aerial mercenary, international racing competitor, Wright test pilot, South American explorer, and co-owner of one of America''s premier charter services.
