If he was born in 1898 and received his license on 12 January 1912. wouldn't that make him 16 when he received his license? Unless he was born between 1 and 11 January. But his birth date is not given. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 01:11, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I went strictly by what the references explicitly state. They don't say one way or another that he wasn't the youngest at 16 also, but that would be venturing into WP:OR. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
