Hardy, former Senior Vice President of National Airlines, once hid overnight at Hannifin's apartment during an industry feud. Perhaps the most farsighted of them all was Juan Trippe, First Chief of Pan Am. Recalls Hannifin: "He kept telling me, 'We can make it easier for people to fly in bigger airplanes...
