Colonel David L Stone landed once at Tucson, Saturday, May 11, 1929 at 6:00PM. He was a passenger with Lester Maitland, who carried three additional passengers, including F. Trubee Davison, Roy Hooe and a Private Collins. Based at Los Angeles, CA, they arrived westbound from Lordsburg, NM.

They remained in Tucson overnight, departing the next day at 8:45AM toward Los Angeles. Please direct your browser to Maitland's link to learn the circumstances of another flight, in June, 1927 with Albert F. Hegenberger, when they became the first pilots successfully to cross the Pacific Ocean by air from San Francisco, CA to Wheeler Field, Oahu, T.H.

The State of Washington maintains at the link a history encyclopedia online, which features a biography, with excellent photographs, of Stone.

I have very little original information about passenger Stone. Photo contributor Bybee states, "Stone retired as a Major General and was first Chief of Army Reserve, 3/5/1927-6/30/1930. .... MG [Major General] Stone is buried [at the] Joint Base Lewis-McCord, WA."

Below is an article from The Seattle Times, August 29, 1940 that describes his retirement.
