HAROLD F. BROWN

Harold Brown landed close together three times at Santa Monica. He landed Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, November 12, 13 and 15, 1929. His flights were in the Riverside, CA to Long Beach, CA areas. He carried unidentified passengers on two of his flights. About this time he worked for Whittier Airways Co. out of the "Los Angeles East Side Airport," which was at Riverside, CA.

At his biography page on the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register Web site, you will find that he was known to be employed in flight instruction at Riverside. He may well have been carrying students during his landings at Clover Field.

Photograph, left, from an article that appeared in the March, 1939 issue of contemporary magazine, Modern Mechanics & Invention. The article, exhibited in its entirety for you to read at his biography page, details an airborne rescue of a would-be suicidal passenger.

I have seen three different birth dates for Brown: March 16, 1897, January 17, 1903 and January 17, 1905. The 1905 date showed up twice, so we'll go with that one. He passed away relatively young on July 12, 1966. His obituary is at his biography link, above. Brown's commercial pilot license was #3448.
