1940 Karl Tanzler Von Cosel was arrested when it was discovered that he had kept the body of Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos. Von Cosel had been employed at the Marine Hospital as an X-ray expert technician when Elena was admitted with tuberculosis, from which she died. He first buried her in the cemetery but later removed the body and took it home.
The airship of Elena Milagro Hoyos built by Count Carl Tanzler von Cosel C 1940. From the DeWolfe and Wood Collection in the Otto Hirzel Scrapbook.

1927 To fulfill its contract with the U.S. Post Office, Pan American Airlines hired pilot Cy Caldwell to fly a single-engine seaplane from Key West to Havana. He left Key West at 8:04 a.m. carrying seven sacks of mail containing about 30,000 letters. He landed in Havana 62 minutes later and saved the airline, which could not begin regular service with its own planes until Oct. 28.
