From 1950 to 1952 he was the personal pilot for General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, and later served as President Eisenhower's personal pilot and Air Force Aide. Colonel Draper was the pilot of Eisenhower's Presidential plane "Columbine," the predecessor of what we now call "Air Force One." On November 26, 1964, he committed suicide by hanging himself, reportedly depressed after a heart attack ended his service as a pilot, which he had been continuously since he was 19. He was interred at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia. Draper appeared on an episode of What's My Line. (en)
