Lester J. Maitland
Lester James Maitland is a pioneer aviation officer and career in the United States Air Force and its predecessors. Maitland began his career as a reserve pilot in the United States Army during World War I and became Brigadier in the Michigan Air National Guard after World War II. In 1927, Maitland and Lieutenant Albert F. Hegenberger made the first trans-Pacific flight from California to Hawaii, piloting the modified Bird of Paradise transport. While their recognition was less than the praise given to Charles Lindbergh for his transatlantic flight just five weeks earlier, Maitland and Hegenberger's feat is arguably more navigation point significant.
