Kincheloe Sr. (1894–1966) and Frances Wilder Kincheloe.[5] Interested in aviation from a very young age, he graduated from Dowagiac High School in 1945 and attended Purdue University in Indiana. Kincheloe joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity (Indiana Alpha), and graduated in 1949 with a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. In the summer of 1948, the ROTC cadet met test pilot Chuck Yeager and sat in the cockpit of the Bell X-1. Korean WarUpon graduation from college, Kincheloe received his commission in the U.S. Air Force and entered flight training. After earning his pilot wings in August 1950, he spent a year as a test pilot, flying the F-86E at Edwards Air Force Base, California, was promoted to first lieutenant, and transferred to Korea in September 1951. During the war, he flew F-80s on thirty combat missions and F-86s on 101 combat missions, downing five {{nowrap|MiG-15s}} (becoming an ace and earning the Silver Star) before returning to the U.S. in May 1952. At this time, he had reached the rank of captain. Post-war careerAfter the war, Kincheloe was a gunnery instructor at Nellis Air Force Base outside Las Vegas, Nevada, then became a test pilot, graduating in December 1954 from the Empire Test Pilots' School at Farnborough, England. He participated in the testing of the Century Series of fighter aircraft (F-100 Super Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, F-105 Thunderchief, and F-106 Delta Dart). In the mid-1950s, Kincheloe joined the Bell X-2 program and on September 7, 1956,[6] flew at more than {{convert|2000|mi/h|km/h|-1|abbr=on}} and to a height of {{convert|126200|ft|-1}}[2][6] (some sources list 126,500),[3] the first flight ever above {{convert|100,000|ft|round=5}}. For this he was nicknamed "America's {{nowrap|No. 1 Spaceman."}} The X-2 program was halted three weeks later, after a fatal crash resulted in the death of Mel Apt in a flight in which Apt became the first person to exceed Mach 3.[7] Kincheloe was later selected as one of the first three pilots in the next rocket-powered aircraft program, the X-15,[8] and would have been part of the Man In Space Soonest project. Death and legacyIn July 1958, Kincheloe was killed in the crash of an F-104A (Lockheed F-104A-10-LO s/n 56-772) at Edwards AFB; he had ejected at low altitude, but the deployed parachute did not adequately slow his descent.[8][9] He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.[10] Only thirty years old, Kincheloe was survived by wife, Dorothy, their young son, Iven III, and a daughter who was born two months later, Jeannine.[11]
