Thayer's Notes:

a He is the father of Ensign Henry H. Landon, Jr., an early naval aviator of the First Yale Unit, who fought in World War I. The story of that historic group is told in an excellent book by Ralph Paine (soberly titled The First Yale Unit: onsite in full). In it "Hen" Landon's war in France and Italy is more particularly detailed in chapters 27, 29, 30, 31, and 41; with somewhat more incidental mentions of him passim; and two photographs of him (pp50 and 32) as well.

b Maj. Landon's birthplace is from his AOG obituary.
