Theodore Cordy Freeman (18 February 1930-31 October 1964), Captain, U.S. Air Force—He died after ejecting from his T-38 Talon due to a bird strike; he was the first fatality among the Astronaut Corps, dying just over a year after his selection in Astronaut Group 3, before he was assigned to a space flight; during his crash, he veered away from housing, potentially saving lives on the ground.
