Tod Corwin Shriver (1873-1911)[1] was a U.S. aviator and exhibition pilot often associated with pioneer Glenn Curtiss.
Shriver was a mechanic for Glenn Curtiss, much in the way Charlie Taylor was for The Wright Brothers, and accompanied him to France in 1909 to participate in the historic Rheims air meet officially Grande Semaine d'Aviation de la Champagne.
[2] Shriver in 1910 became a pilot himself on the classic Curtiss pusher type.
He was widely traveled in the final year of his life accompanying Thomas Scott Baldwin and James C. Mars to Hawaii, The Philippines, Australia, China and Japan.
In Puerto Rico he made what was probably the first flight on the island but was the first pilot to die there when his machine fell 200 feet into a sugar cane field.
