Info | The grandnephew of President Taft, Ingalls was the only ace of the United States Navy during World War I. Before enlisting in 1917, he was a pre-med student at Yale where he was an active member of the school's flying club. Attached to British squadrons throughout the war, he flew the D.H.4 and Sopwith Camel in combat scoring six victories. After the war, he received a degree in the law from Harvard in 1923 and was elected to the Ohio legislature in 1926. A strong advocate for the fully deployable carrier task force, Ingalls served with the United States Navy throughout World War II, retiring with the rank of Rear Admiral. He later became vice-president of Pan American airlines, was the president and publisher of the Cincinnati Times-Star and vice-chairman of the Taft Broadcasting Company. In 1958, he returned to the practice of law.
