Yes, he died in Arizona but on Saturday, April 22, 1961 when a helicopter he was piloting hit some power lines and crashed. Two other passengers were also killed. The accident happened in Yavapai County, AZ.

Hello gents,
Many thanks Dennis and Paul for updating my file on this pilot. These US pilots were real trail blazers risking all before their country entered WW11.
Thanks for all concerned.
Best wishes,
Roy
