Notes |
- He was was the youngest son of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Quentin was also the most rambunctious of the Roosevelt children. His behavior prompted his mother, Edith, to label him a "fine bad little boy". Once, when his brother Archie was terribly ill, it was Quentin (with the help of Charles Lee, a White House coachman), who brought the pony Algonquin to his room by elevator, sure that this would make his brother better.
Inspired by his father and siblings, he joined the United States Army Air Service where he became a pursuit pilot during World War I. He was killed in aerial combat over France on Bastille Day (July 14), 1918.
