Harold Kullberg, former Royal Air Force captian, arrested aircraft pilot Howard Calvert and passenger Frank O'Neill for performing stunt flying over a city, the same being Akron Ohio. It was the first arrest for violation of air traffic rules in the United States. Kullberg had noted the violations while in the air himself.
Kullberg had scored 19 aerial victories in World War One with the Royal Air Force, his efforts to join the U.S. Army as a flyer having been rejected to his being too short. He died at age 27 in 1924, he died while instructing a student pilot.
