Quentin Roosevelt: The Only Son Of A US President To Die In Combat Was A Fearless WWI Fighter Pilot

Though many former Presidents of the United States (POTUS) have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, only two were military aviators. They were both Bushes: (1) George Herbert Walker Bush (AKA “Bush 41”), who, as the youngest U.S. Navy pilot (or Naval Aviator, to use the USN’s preferred terminology) of the Second World War, flew the prop-driven Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber; and (2) his son, George Walker Bush (AKA “Bush 43” AKA “Dubya”), who flew the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger for the Air National Guard (ANG) from 1968 to 1974.
