Aviator Epitaphs
Last week in the Aviation & History forum I attempted to answer a puzzle posed by OUAQUKGF Ops.
I got the location right but not at first the person concerned, but later did find the right answer.
Turns out the person concerned, was an early aviator who died when his aeroplane crashed.
Details here:

I was intrigued by the epitaph carved on the base of his ornate memorial that says:
"Now gallant boy, pursue thy happy flight with swifter motion haste to purer light."
So what other epitaphs are there that apply to deceased miltary and civilian aviators?
