Letter follows" Lieutenant Beaufort was in Montgomery last December in the uniform of a British aviator and was the first airman to appear in this city in the English aviation garb. He is a man of magnificent physique, being 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds. He is a typical blonde and his many friends here pronounce him one of the finest physical specimens to be found anywhere. He is 27 years old. He is a native of Pensacola, but was reared and received his early education in Mobile and Montgomery. After attending a military school at mobile, he became a student at Auburn. He was always proud of the fact that his mother was an English woman, being a native of Liverpool, England, and at his first opportunity after the war started he seized the opportunity to render service to Great Britain by joining her air forces.
