ELMER C. McLEOD

Elmer McLeod landed twice to sign the Clover Field Register. His first landing was on Friday, April 12 , 1929. This is an interesting visit to study, because the airplane, the Travel Air NC8849, and his itinerary, are part of the same trip that brought him through Tucson to sign the Davis-Monthan Register the day before. The entire itinerary is charted at McLeod's biography page at the Davis-Monthan Register Web site.

His second landing at Santa Monica was on Friday, October 3, 1930 at 3:00PM. This time he flew the Timm C-170 Collegiate, NC888E and carried one unidentified passenger. No purpose for this landing was cited in the Register.

Besides his biography at the Davis-Monthan Web site, there is also a major collection of artifacts, correspondence, log books and photogaphs housed on that site. All these items enjoy global exposure on dmairfield.org in the form of the Elmer C. McLeod Photograph and Document Collection. Please direct your browser to the Collection link to learn more about this prodigious aviator.

According to the best records I can find, McLeod was born April 30, 1902 and died at Los Angeles March 18, 1994 at age 91. He carried Transport pilot license number T3485.
