Ted Brown landed at Tucson on February 25, 1932. He carried
one passenger, U.S. Hirsch, Jr., in Monocoupe NC193K. They
were based in Los
Angeles, CA and arrived from Lordsburg,
NM.
I have very little information on pilot Brown. The March
2, 1930 Newark NJ Sunday Call posts an interview with Lt.
Theodore Brown as follows:
His landing experience sounds pretty typical for student
pilots in their second hour of instruction! Hopefully, he
didn't have the same experience when he landed at Tucson.
As far as other clues to pilot Brown's life in this article, "Newark
Aero Squadron" yields
no Google hits. Where he learned to fly, Hadley
Field, had a deep history
in early airmail activities, but there is no mention of Brown
on any of its pages. Likewise for his flight instructor,
Ken Unger. The field was about five miles from New Brunswick,
NJ.
