F. Wead wurde nicht durch einen Flugzeugabsturz zum Krüppel, sondern fiel einfach zuhause die Treppe herunter. Die englische Wikipedia schreibt:
"Wead would have continued his career as a naval aviator had it not been for a serious accident. In April 1926, he was resting upstairs in his home and heard one of his daughters scream. He then rushed downstairs and tripped, falling and breaking his neck. The injury resulted in paralysis. While convalescing, at the encouragement of his Navy friends, Wead began writing."
