It saddens me personally to read of the loss of the Wasp.

My great uncle Waldo was a Naval reserve airman who lost his life in an accident while flying in a formation to celebrate the launching of the Wasp in Boston.

Waldo was WWI naval aviator and although married to the heir to a great industrial fortune he continued to fly in the Naval reserve in the ‘20s and ‘30s.
