Air Service, United States Army Captain Thomas Gantz Cassady (January 5, 1896 – July 9, 1972) was an American fighter pilot who served in both World Wars, and became a businessman during peacetime.

While serving here, he scored a run of five confirmed and three unconfirmed aerial victories, between 28 May and 15 August 1918, sharing them with William Ponder and James Connelly, among others.

[3] He then transferred to the 28th Aero Squadron as a Flight Commander,[4] and scored four more times between 14 September and 27 October 1918 using a Spad XIII, and sharing the honors with Martinus Stenseth and George W. Furlow among others.

[6] Cassady served with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, making four spying trips into Vichy France.

He has since passed to aviation where he is indispensable in turn by the greatness of his character, his skill as a pilot, and his absolute disregard for danger.
