==Personal life==
Born in New York, Whitney Straight was the son of Major Willard Dickerman Straight and heiress Dorothy Payne Whitney. He was almost six years old when his father died in France of influenza during the great epidemic while serving with the United States Army during World War I. Following his mother's remarriage to British agronomist Leonard K. Elmhirst in 1925, the family moved to England. They lived at Dartington Hall where he attended the progressive school founded by his parents. His education was completed at Trinity College, Cambridge.
On 17 July 1935 he married Lady Daphne Margarita Finch-Hatton, daughter of the 14th Earl of Winchilsea, and they had two daughters.
Whitney Straight was also the father of Barney Barnato Walker (born 1947), whose mother was noted aviator Diana Barnato Walker, MBE, the first British woman to break the sound barrier (Source - ''Spreading My Wings'' by Diana Barnato-Walker) and the daughter of another famous racing driver (Woolf Barnato).
