This facility is named in memory of LT Clyde “Sparky” Cosper, a B-17 pilot who remained at the controls of his stricken bomber on Nov. 13, 1943 after the other nine members of the crew had bailed out and in so doing prevented the bomber from crashing into the British community of Princes Risborough in the United Kingdom. Narrowly missing the town, he was killed on impact.
Cosper was a native of Dodd City, Texas.
