Sixty-three-year-old Elkan finally settled in a modest red brick house in London, went on with his sculpture. Commissions were few and small. But little by little, he won British critical acclaim...
Last week on the 7,500-odd square feet of floor space at Manhattan's red-brick Whitney Museum were scattered an estimated 25 tons of assorted sculpture. The occasion: a big spring showing by members and nonmembers of the National Sculpture Society. Of some 185 pieces shown, many would have looked well on a moonlit night behind a fishpond, half covered with ivy.

This building contains the Allocations Gallery and the Children's Gallery, both of which fall under the scope of the W.P.A. District Art Unit.

These were packed in barrels and hogsheads and shipped to all parts...
...burned to the ground. Only 15 planes, some wings, fuselages, spare parts were saved. When he got back, he found his mechanics out on the field putting together a plane with one silver wing, one red one. Pocketing his $75,000 loss (virtually no insurance), he bought a fireproof brick building from Susquehanna Silk Mills in Lock Haven, Pa., 80 miles away, renamed his company Piper Aircraft Corp., and started over. His loss for the year was only $39,555, and in 1938 profits were $14,031. Last year he added a fireproof repair shop, 15 hangars, a shipping room...
