	101k	Richard Caswell Saufley, born 01 September 1884 at Stanford, Kentucky, was graduated from the Naval Academy in June 1908 and was commissioned Ensign in June 1910. Service in Kansas, Biddle, and Terry preceded his return to the Naval Academy for training in aviation in 1913. On 6 June of that year, he was promoted to Lieutenant (jg.) and designated Naval Aviator No. 14. During the Mexican campaign, he was attached to Mississippi (BB-23) and North Carolina (Armored Cruiser No. 12). In 1915 and 1916, his assignments were concerned with the technological development of naval aviation. Concentrating on hydro-airplane development, he set altitude and endurance records and was attempting to better his own record when he died in a plane crash at Pensacola on 9 June 1916.
