*The legendary “Lighthouse Santa Claus” started in 1929 with a Maine float plane pilot named William Wincapaw. The helicopter flight on December 12, 1946, was made by Edgar Rowe Snow, with Roy Beer at the controls. They set off from Boston in one of the first commercial helicopters to make the flight to southern New England lighthouses.
