Beckwith Havens (1890-1969) was an early American aviator. He flew primarily on the Curtiss Pusher aircraft. In later life he gave accounts of what it was like to be an aviator in the pioneer days. He related how pilots were sometimes forced to fly in dangerous weather and conditions often from the threat of the spectators who came to witness early aviation.
