Air Force Academy gets youngest cadet, November 19, 1958



1958_1119_cover
Iven Kincheloe III, the 1-year-old son of a distinguished X-15 pilot who died in July 1958 in the crash of a jet fighter at Edwards Air Force Base, is recommended for an appointment to the Air Force Academy in 1972.

An Air Force Base in Michigan was named for the elder Kincheloe in 1959. An award for test pilots is also named after him .

Whether his son pursued a flying career is unclear at this point. There's nothing further in The Times about him.
