ONLINE RESOURCES If you search for "Fred Raynham +aviation" using Google, (9-16-08), you will find about 8 links. My friend Ian Sayer alerted me to the absolutely priceless resource cited immediately below

The RAYNHAM Family History This booklength article is a very complete and fascinating revue of his life and career. It features a detailed narrative of his life from birth to death and offers copies of many of his personal letters which recount his experiences in aviation. The story is profusely illustrated with numerous photographs, many of them previously unavailable. You can access the site by clicking on the title above.

Frederick Raynham and C. F. W. Morgan This page on the Memorial University of Newfoundland's Archival Treasures website offers a brief reference to Raynham as follows:

Voorhis David Demarest was in Newfoundland during the spring of 1919 when Raynham and Morgan, two of the competitors, crashed on take-off from Quidi Vidi on May 18. Raynham was not seriously injured but Morgan lost an eye, which ended his flying career."

While on the site, if time permits, I suggest that you visit the "Introduction" and become acquainted with the many features of The Centre for Newfoundland Studies in the Queen Elizabeth II Library. You can access the site by clicking on the title above.

A Concise History of Air Racing By Don Berliner This article on the Society of Air Racing Historians website has two references to Fred Raynham. You can access the site by clicking on the title above. You will probably want to read the entire article, but if time is short, you may want to use the "FIND" function on Raynham to locate the two items of interest.
