A Lafayette Air Corps member
"My man" - James B McCreary - probably never achieved a significant role within Lafayette Flying Corps.
James B McCreary Jr. was born on Sept. 9, 1893, Buffalo, NY. According to postwar newspapers a volunteer ambulance driver and "aviator" (?). Enlisted to Flying Corps on July 23, 1917, released in April 1918 because of health (probably his precedent gas poisoning). Any details of McCreary's Air Corps service hungrily welcomed! P.S. Enthusiastic cinematographer McCreary joined YMCA in Czechoslovakia in January 1919. His live lost on July 5th 1919 while filming Italian plane flying under a Prague bridge. Ansaldo SVA heavily damaged after hitting the river, pilot G. Haass of Viennese Italian Military Mission survived with a little injury only. James McCreary buried in Prague four days later with military honors. Cheers MP Last edited by Miroslav Pokorny; 13 December 2012 at 01:28 AM. |
