On 28-September-1921, Lieutenant J Macready took off from McCook Field in Dayton, Ohio, the US Army Air Service's experimental field, in a Le Pere airplane with a supercharged Packard engine and climbed to 37,800, setting a new altitude record. He later increased the record to over 40,000 feet.
Macready served as an Army air instructor during World War One and commanded air groups during World War Two.
