WWI pilot died in 1922?

I am looking for a pilot who survived the war and then died in 1922 while flying his small biplane. Unfortunately, I do not know his name. I know he had an infant son. The son was taken to Pennsylvania by his birth mother where my grandmother, Sarah Brooks McNeil, picked him up and took him to Elmira, NY to raise him as her son, Frederic Warren McNeil, Jr, my father. My father is a WWII Marine vet who served in the South Pacific as a navigator. He is dying of kidney cancer and unable to answer our questions. Thanks for any info.

The 4th of July 1922,there was always something metaphysical about that to me!
