George R. Hutchinson
Colonel George R. Hutchinson (February 11, 1902 - August 21, 1989〔(George R Hutchinson Profile and Genealogy )〕) was an American aviator and media personality of the 1930s.
==Early career==
George Hutchinson was working as a bank teller in Baltimore, Maryland when he married Blanche Delcher (1902 - October 24, 1995〔(Blanche Hutchinson Obituary, Baltimore Sun )〕) in 1922. In 1928 he co-financed William Penn Airport (later Boulevard Airport, closed in 1951)〔(Little Known Airfields: William Penn Airport )〕 near Philadelphia, where he gave flying lessons and joyflights.
In 1930, Hutchinson bought a Lockheed Sirius monoplane he named ''Richmond, Virginia'' after his home town, trading in his smaller Stinson Junior as part of the purchase. He intended to use the Sirius, a sleek single-seat aircraft, to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a faster time than Charles Lindbergh had in 1927. However, before he could begin his attempt, he crashed the aircraft in Los Angeles. The ''Richmond, Virginia'' was sold to recover debts and was eventually to be rebuilt as the Altair ''Lady Southern Cross''.〔(VH-USB Lady Southern Cross (Part 1) )〕
