Dr. Frank Brewster was widely known as the Flying Doctor after he flew from Beaver City, Nebraska, to Herndon, Kansas, to perform surgery on an oilfield worker who had suffered a crushed skull in an accident. This incident on May 23, 1919 was thought to be the first time an airplane had been used for commercial or humanitarian purposes.
