The name WILL ROGERS (1879-1935) is from the American humorist remembered for his homespun commentary on politics and the American society.
Born on 4 November 1879 near the present town of Claremore, OK, he received sporadic formal education between 1887 and 1898.
An avid booster of aviation, Rogers undertook a polar flight with a fellow Oklahoman, Wiley Post, in the summer of 1935. It ended in tragedy. Post’s plane crashed at Point Barrow, Alaska, on 15 August 1935, killing Post and his passenger, Will Rogers.
