Description

The life of aviation's Maverick Bill Lear. Bill Lear; an irascible, eccentric, outrageous aviation genuis, did more in his unorthodox way to make the skies safe for pilots than any other man of his era. Ironically, this least corporate of men, who fought every establishment and played by no one's rules but his own, is best remembered for his corporate jet. Seven years after his death, the Lear Jet is still the best-selling business airplane.
