Editors Note: It becomes obvious to even the amateur aviation historian, like myself, that many of the pioneer fliers were not members of the Early Bird organization. Even those who soloed before the cutoff date, December 17, 1916 and were otherwise eligible, were either overlooked as candidates or didn't bother to apply. Nevertheless, I think they deserve our attention if we are to understand and appreciate the roles they played in the development of aviation. To that end, I hope to add a few to this page as time and opportunity permits.
