...Frank Dobie, who put the honor and the data together, is as Texan as the steers he celebrates. An anti-industrialist and individualist, he once went to jail rather than pay a $2 fine for violation of what he considered an unreasonable parking regulation.

...Britain the Ford factory has been busy manufacturing Rolls-Royce Merlin engines for British Spitfires and Hurricanes.) More than that, his men were busy consulting with airplane experts, notably Colonel Lindbergh, on building planes as well as engines. The Administration might count him out, but Henry Ford, ever an individualist, was driving right ahead-just as if an order for 1,000 planes a day were in his hands-on Henry Ford's own program for national defense...
