They were joined by Walter Brookins, a former Wright Brothers pilot who taught Lillie to fly. Lillie soloed on October 23, 1911 and achieved ACA(Aero Club of America) certificate #73. In the fall of 1911 Lillie gained total control of his airplane company venture and took his aircraft to the warmer climate of Atlanta, Georgia for the winter of 1911-12 returning to Chicago in the spring of 1912. Throughout the Spring and Summer of 1912 Lillie established his reputation as a flight instructor as well as a pilot carrying passengers and continuing exhibition flying. He completed Katherine Stinson's flight training on Wright Model B's after Wilbur Wright's death May 30, 1912. On September 14, 1912 he tried out for Expert Pilot License #1. Lillie died in a plane crash September 15, 1913, in Galesburg, Illinois. (en) Max T. Lillie född Max Theo Liljestrand 1881 i Stockholm död september 1913 i Galesburg i USA, var en svensk-amerikansk flygpionjär. Lillie utvandrade från Sverige 1903. Han startade ett företag i St. Louis, men när flygintresset spred sig i USA bestämde sig Lillie för att bli pilot. När Expert Aviator's Certificates delades ut 1910 erhöll han certifikat nummer 1. Som flygare räknades han som mycket duktig, och han genomförde ett stort antal flygningar utan den minsta skråma på sina flygplan. Han var under flera år verksam som flyglärare i Chicago. 8 juli 1913 deltog Lillie i den stora sjöflygplanstävlingen Aero & Hydro med en 70 hk Walco flygbåt. Bland de medtävlande märktes piloterna Tom Benoist, Antony Jannus och . I september 1913 ställde Lillie upp vid en flyguppvisning i Galesburg. När han skulle genomföra en sväng framför publiken bröts ena vingen av och flygplanet kollapsade i luften. Lillie som flög ett Wrightflygplan, där man satt framför motorn längst fram, krossades av den bakomvarande motorn när flygplanet slog i marken. Under flygets första 10 år inträffade de flesta dödsfallen vid flyghaverier med Wrightflygplan. Förutom Lillie omkom även Calbraith Rodgers, Howard Gill, och i Wrightflygplan. (sv) |
