1918-01-15: Cummings died of injuries sustained in a crash of his Curtiss JN-4a. The flying accident cause was unknown. He died of his injuries the next day (1918-01-16).His passenger, WG Ouellette (no forenames) (USA) was slightly injured. His name was not found on a list of students and instructors so it is likely he was a local air mechanic on a joy ride.
