Abstract:
The Outer Banks’ association with aircraft can also be attributed to David Driskill. In fact, from his ferrying of provisions, parcels, pay, and people, he became synonymous with flight for generations of locals. Acknowledgment of his two decades’ plus of service is attested in an article from another local famed figure, Aycock Brown, and a monument, erected after his death in a plane crash in 1952.
