Flying Pioneer William E. Boeing was truly one of the real stalwarts in the early formation of the American aviation industry. His early interest in the new science was a combination of the enthusiastic lure of flight and his spirit of patriotism. The marvelous accomplishments of his Boeing Aircraft Company over the years are too well known to be enumerated. Their leadership in the development and manufacture of both military and commercial aircraft have been one of the true guides of our great American aviation progress. While he did little flying he gave generously of his faith, wealth and sound leadership in establishing the renowned firm still bearing his name. What a blessing that he lived to see the great growth and accomplishments of his firm.
