This page details Thomas Selfridge, the first airplane fatality in aviation history. Born in San Francisco in 1882, he graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1903. Deeply interested in aviation, Selfridge worked with Alexander Graham Bell's Aeronautical Experiment Association and became the first U.S. military officer to solo pilot a modern aircraft. On September 17, 1908, while accompanying Orville Wright on a demonstration flight, the Wright Flyer's wooden propeller broke, causing the aircraft to crash. Selfridge suffered a fractured skull and died without regaining consciousness, becoming aviation's first fatality.
