Depression

[edit]

It's true that SD was very upset by the accident, but his depression had begun much earlier. He had been diagnosed with ms in 1910 and never piloted an aircraft again. The military use of aircraft in WWI depressed him greatly and in 1920 he dug his own grave. In 1926 and 1927 he spent time in a Swiss sanitorium but by 1928 felt well enough to return to Brazil, only to be greeted by the Do 18 accident. After attending all twelve funerals he returned to his Swiss sanitorium later in 1928. Cf The wings of madness, Paul Hoffman's biography of SD.TSRL (talk) 19:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
