Commander Willis Bradley Haviland, (10 March 1890 – 28 November 1944) was a pioneer military pilot in World War I and a Naval Air Station Commanding Officer in World War II. As the sixteenth American volunteer in the Lafayette Escadrille, he was among the first air combat pilots to fight the Germans in World War I, before the United States officially entered the war. He would later become the first pilot to launch a plane from a battleship.〔Unpublished Scrapbooks compiled by Willis Bradley Haviland. See (An Earlybird's Scrapbook ) by grandson Willis Haviland Lamm〕 ==Early life== Born on 10 March 1890 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Willis was the only son of Dr. Willis Henry Haviland (10 Sep 1864 – 15 Jan 1939) by his first wife Grace Hynes. His parents divorced 28 Jun 1895, when he was only about 5 years old, and Dr. Haviland remarried to Mary Page Irvine on 22 Jul 1895 in Butte, Montana. Willis Bradley Haviland would remain close to his biological mother well into his adulthood. He attended Kemper Military School and Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at Ames. His father was elected a Montana State Senator in 1906 for one term in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile young Willis B. Haviland enlisted in the United States Navy from 1907–1911. When war broke out in Europe, Willis joined the American Field Service (American Ambulance Corp, nicknamed "Friends of France") in 1915. There he drove ambulances for seventeen months at the Alsace front. When the Field Service and American Ambulance severed ties in the summer of 1916, Willis received a pilot's license on 7 September in that year and entered the American Escadrille (soon afterward renamed Lafayette Escadrille) becoming the sixteenth American volunteer pilot in the squadron.
