Patrol Squadron Sixty-Seven

Yesterday was the century mark of the First Pacific Flight flown by Nashville's Jack Harding. Not one media outlet in Nashville covered it that I can find (WPLN and NashToday did cover the start).

But I have made six attempts to list him, complete with good source data. You can see the footnotes on my blog.
