Thomas was lost on July 30, 1931 when the plane he was piloting broke up during practice dive-bombing off the coast of California. He was the executive officer of Bombing Squadron (VB) 2B, flying from USS Saratoga (CV 3).
All that was recovered was his helmet and part of his brain. His remains were later buried off the ship into the sea.
