Russell William Thaw (1910-2002) was a famous pilot who fought in World War II. Thaw was the son of Evelyn Nesbit and, officially, he was also the son of Harry K. Thaw. The Thaw-Nesbit couple was famous for the 1906 murder of Stanford White at the Madison Square Garden.
Russel William Thaw had to experience indifference by the man supposed to be his father, as Harry K. Thaw never accepted Russell William as his son.
During World War II, Russell William Thaw became one of the most noted American pilots, obtaining five air victories, three of them as part of the 103rd. squadron.
