These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-09-28,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 9 - History - People Who Died in Aviation Accidents
1. Virginia Patterson Hensley was born in 1932 in Gore, Virginia.
She was a country music industry pioneer and helped pave the
way for women. She died at age 30 in the crash of a Piper
Comanche on March 5, 1963. By what name do we know her?
2. Eric Hilliard Nelson was born in 1940 in Teaneck, New Jersey.
He was an actor on TV and in movies and a singer. He died with
7 others in the crash-landing and fire of a DC-3 on New Year's
Eve 1985. By what name do we know him?
3. He was born in 1929 and served 6 years as a pilot in the US
Air Force and later flew as a civilian. He was involved in a
1960 incident that caused the cancellation of a major summit
between Khrushchev and Eisenhower. He died in the 1977 crash of
a Bell 206 helicopter he was flying for a Los Angeles TV station.
What was his name?
4. This baseball catcher was born in 1947 and played his entire
11-year professional baseball career for the Yankees. In 1979,
he died at the age of 32 while practicing landing his Cessna
Citation. What was his name?
5. He was born in 1925 in Kingston, Texas. He falsified his age to
join the US Army in 1942. He went on to appear in over 40
movies. In 1971, he was killed along with five others when an
Aero Commander 680 crashed in Virginia. He was buried with full
military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. His gravesite
is the second-most visited one there, after President Kennedy's.

and exposure following a Lockheed Hudson crash in Musgrave
Harbour, Newfoundland. He was en route to England to conduct
medical tests. What was this man's name?
8. On January 28, 1986, the Challenger launched from Cape Canaveral.
Just 73 seconds into its flight, the shuttle broke apart,
resulting in the deaths of all 7 crew members. One of them
was going to be "the first teacher in space". What was that
teacher's name?
9. Born 1900, he was a French aristocrat, writer, poet, and
pioneering aviator. He became a laureate of several of France's
highest literary awards and also won the US National Book Award.
In July 1944, he took off in a Lockheed P-38 from an air base
on Corsica -- and did not return, vanishing without a trace.
What was his name?
10. He was born in the Bronx in 1929. His first movie role was in
"Blackboard Jungle", and he starred with Elvis in "Kid Creole".

What was his name?

a common condition characterized by the repeated formation
of benign and non-contagious mouth ulcers in otherwise
healthy individuals?
