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 lure of flight and his enthusiastic spirit of patriotism. The marvelous accomplishments of his Boeing Aircraft Company over the years are well-known. Their leadership in the development and manufacture of both military and commercial aircraft has been an outstanding example of 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.
