    David Pinsent was a friend of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. The two met as students at Cambridge University in 1912 and struck up a rapport based on shared interests in music and mathematics. This led to holidays together, including trips to Iceland and Norway. After Pinsent was killed in an airplane accident in 1918, Wittgenstein dedicated his first book, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, to his memory.
