High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ralph Johnstone (1886 – November 17, 1910) was a pioneering early aviator who died in a crash. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1886. He started as a vaudeville trick bicycle rider. He became a Wright exhibition team pilot. He and Archibald Hoxsey were known as the "heavenly twins" for their attempts to break altitude records. On October 27, 1910, the International Aviation Tournament was at the Belmont Park race track in Elmont, New York. The meet offered $3,750 for the highest altitude, another $1,000 for a world record and a $5,000 bonus for exceeding 10,000 feet. Johnstone set a new American flight altitude record of 8,471.
