  • Notes 
    • Elliott's grandmother, hired her grandchildren's nannies, interfered with their raising, and told both Eleanor and the children that Eleanor was "only the one who bore you: I am your real mother."
      Elliott Roosevelt was a bombadier in the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. He flew a P-38 Lightning in the North African campaign of November 1942. He attained the rank of Brigadier General in 1945, causing some controversy as virtually all others who had made general in the Army Air Corps were pilots.
      During World War II , he accompanied FDR as a Military attaché to the Casablanca meeting and the subsequent Cairo and Tehran Conferences .
      As an Army photo reconnaissance pilot, he and the men in his unit also played a key role in the D-Day landings.
      Later life
      Elliott was involved in many different careers during his life, including a Texas radio station owner, a rancher, and for a term in the 1960s as the mayor of Miami Beach, Florida . He was also the author of numerous books, including a bestselling mystery series in which his mother, Eleanor Roosevelt , is the detective. As Elliott approached his 80th year of age, his final ambition was to "outlive James." However, Elliott Roosevelt died at the age 80 of congestive heart failure . His brother James Roosevelt survived Elliott by one year.
