Arthur L. Welsh

Arthur L. "Al" Welsh (August 14, 1881 - June 11, 1912) was a Jewish, Russian-born American pioneer aviator who became the first flight instructor for the Wright Brothers. He was killed in an aircrash in 1912.
==Early life==
He was born as Laibel Welcher on August 14, 1881, in Kiev, Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian Empire.〔Some sources list his birth as 1875〕 He was one of six children of Abraham and Dvora Wellcher. In 1890, the family emigrated to Philadelphia, speaking no English. He attended both public school and Hebrew school there. His father died when he was 13 years old and he was sent to Washington, D.C. to live with relatives shortly after his mother remarried. He was a top student who did best in math and mechanics, and was excellent at swimming.〔
He changed his surname to "Welsh" when he joined the United States Navy as a 20-year-old, expecting greater success in the Navy with a name that did not sound "too Jewish". He received an honorable discharge after a tour of duty that lasted four years. He contracted typhoid fever one month after he was discharged and spent four months recovering in a hospital.〔
