Is there anyone interested in seeing monuments and graves of famous aviators. I for one would love to see a section on this web page that gave locations, pictures or descriptions of such places. Many are now obscure or forgatten.
I found Max Immellman's grave in Dresden after a veteran told me of it. Even the local authorities I asked did not know of it. I also stumbled on a monument this weekend at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville for James McConnel an aviator with the Lafayette Escadrille. It is located between the Alderman and Clemons Libraries and shows a man with bird wings about to take flight.

Yes, I'm interested in graves and monuments. I'm also interested in the lost remains of heroes not properly laid to rest. Nungesser, Voss, and I'm sure many others. It's sad when great men go missing.

In the Chapel at the University of Virginia are memorial plaques to Lafayette Escadrille alumni of that school, James R. McConnell and Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr. You may be interested to know that in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. is a magnificent marble tomb, with statue & etc. for Norman Prince. And in the much-neglected but now being restored Montgomery Cemetery in Norristown, PA, is a stone honoring Escadrille member Edmund Charles Clinton Genet -- who actually is entombed in France, but is honored on this family plot.
