Quentin Roosevelt - the son most like TR[edit]

Quentin had nearly all of his father's positive traits and not many of his negative ones. What would he have amounted to had he not been shot down in World War I? SimonATL 18:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No way to answer this question in a way that satisfies WP:V.

Interesting[edit]

Anyone find it interesting that his name is Quentin and he attended Harvard in the 1910s? If you've read a bit of Faulkner, this seems highly amusing.

Honoe[edit]

Did the inscription on the cross really say "Here rests on the field of honoe?"

Memorabilia of Quentin's plane[edit]

As a child, i have a good souvenir of the remains of Quentin's plane : the propeller, the front radiator, one wheel and a small memorial with photos was placed in the MAFA (Maison de l'Amitié Franco-Américaine) in Chateau-Thierry. Today, the MAFA is closed, but i will try to obtain the current location of this propeller and post a photo of it. Zeugma fr (talk) 18:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poem tag[edit]

Lieutenant
Quentin Roosevelt
Escadrille 95
Tombé glorieusement
En combat aerien
Le 14 Juillet 1918
Pour le droit
Et la liberté</poem>

I'm mostly a grammar/spelling tidy-upper around here, so not sure what to do with the tag hanging out at the end (copied above) in the Roosevelt's last combat flight and death over France section. It's followed by a pipe & a source when you go to edit the section -

— Quentin Roosevelt: A Sketch with Letters, Roosevelt, Kermit, editor, Scribners, 1921, New York

- don't want to lose the source, but it's not showing up anyway because I'm guessing something's wrong with the closure of the Wikivoodoo tag? Can someone who can do Wikicode well fix this, please? ScarletRibbons (talk) 08:06, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
