David Malcolm Loyd – Lieuenant (j.g.) United States Navy

by

My uncle, Lieutenant (j.g.) David Malcom Loyd,  was the only casualty in a ZPG-2 Blimp accident on May 14, 1959, at Lakehurst, New Jersey, Naval Air Station. He was pinned in the gondola which struck the hanger as they were attempting to land in a very heavy fog. Six others were injured and hospitalized. There were also others with minor injuries.He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery shortly thereafter.  Perhaps you can verify this and add his name to your list.
Thank You,
Janiece Loyd Bloch
