Army halted career one flight pilot dies of cancer at 59
Malcolm McCrady died at his Owatonna Minnesota home at age 59 after a life as brief as it was dramatic. In 1948 the Army sergeant, then 30, flew solo in a B25 from Dayton to Owatonna using a highway map instead of instruments, drawing national attention before a court martial led to dishonorable discharge.
