James Crawford Angel Marshall (born Springfield, Missouri, USA, August 1, 1899 - December 8, 1956) was an American aviator after whom Angel Falls in Venezuela were named. Angel was one of the first foreigners to see the falls, in 1933. His other achievements were the landing of his plane on the top of Auyantepui (Devil's Mountain) in 1937. He broke the plane during the process of landing and had to trek 11 days through the rainforest to the nearest settlement. Wikipedia
