A Pioneer Pilot Killed. E. W. Cleveland Is One of Three Victims in Plane Crash. Seattle, Washington; August 7, 1952 (Associated Press) A man, woman and a young girl were killed when their light plane crashed into a mountainside and burned southeast of Seattle today. The pilot has been identified tentatively as E. W. Cleveland of Cleveland. The names of the other two have not been learned. E. W. Cleveland, known to hundreds of fliers as Pop, was one of the nation's pioneer pilots and in forty-one years of flying had logged more than 10,000 hours. It was a year ago next Monday that 500 persons, headed by James H. (Jimmy) Doolittle, leader of the 1942 raid over Tokyo, paid tribute to the 82-year-old Cleveland at a dinner in the Ohio city. That dinner was held on the fortieth anniversary of his first flight — an unauthorized one — which he made in a borrowed Curtiss pusher plane at Hammondsport, New York. His first authorized solo flight was made in June 1912. Before he went to Cleveland, where he officiated in some capacity in all of the national air races held there, Cleveland managed Mayer field in Pittsburgh.

Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed, the work is in the public domain. No renewal notice was found for this periodical for issues published in this year. For instance, the first New York Times issue renewed was from April 1, 1928. Some publications may have renewed an individual article from an earlier time, for instance the New York Times renewed at least one article published on January 9, 1927. If you find any contrary evidence, or the renewal database has been updated, please notify me. No renewal notices have been found for articles supplied by the Associated Press to subscribing newspapers.
