Louis was one of the few hundred American men who, during World War I, joined England's Royal Air Force (known then as the Royal Flying Corps) and trained in Canada. In August of 1918, he had completed the Canadian phase of his training and was sent to England. However, he was involved in a flying accident and crashed the English Sopwith fighter in which he was training. He spent the rest of the war recovering from a broken jaw and other injuries.
After the war, Louis made a name for himself as the "balladeer of the air," writing several books of poems and songs. His editors celebrated his work, not realizing that he hadn't flown against the enemy. In later years, he wrote other books, including a mystery, THE GIRL IN BLACK VELVET (from information compiled about Louis and found online at www.aeroconservancy.com, a very interesting Virtual Museum of World War I aeronautical memorabilia, managed by Charles Gosse).
Louis married a second time, to a woman named Marguerite. They had at least one child, a daughter named Lois (see 1930 Census of Berkeley, Alameda, CA: T626, Roll 111, E.D. 1-324, Page 270A). In the 1920 and 1930 Censuses, he states his occupation as "Teacher--Private School."
