Sometimes sallies flew so fast between judge and lawyers that the jurors swiveled their heads like a gallery at a tennis match.

He worked with planemakers to turn out the flying boats he needed, sent Charles A. Lindbergh, a consultant to Pan Am, on Great Circle survey flights to the Orient. Trippe's agents roamed south, east and west...
