Tragedy of the other Prince William
Prince William of Gloucester (1941–1972) was a grandson of King George V of the United Kingdom. Prince William owned several aircraft & competed in amateur air show races. In 1972, he was competing in the Goodyear International Air Trophy. Shortly after a low-level take-off, the Piper Cherokee banked abruptly to port; the wing hit a tree & sheared off & the out-of-control plane flipped over & crashed into an earthen bank, bursting into flames. Prince William was killed instantly
