In 1995 Lois Lowry’s son Grey, a flight instructor in the U.S. Air Force, was killed in a plane crash in Germany at age 36. His plane had crashed shortly after takeoff. Later it was determined that parts of the aircraft had been incorrectly installed and that the plane had not been properly inspected. Two Air Force maintenance workers were charged with negligent homicide. One of the workers died by suicide at the start of his court-martial, and the other had his charges dropped after agreeing to leave the military.
