Synopsis
Dust jacket notes: "The man who was to earn the sobriquet, 'the Henry Ford of aviation,' was both merchant and mystic," writes biographer Devon Francis. "William Piper was an anachronism, the gambler and archconservative. He took risks, but they were calculated; he kept his options open....He was a romantic and a missionary zealot in the world of small business. Near the half-century mark in age when he was inducted into aircraft manufacture, he had visions that puddle-jumper airplanes might - just might - one day become important."
