Trouble was, Mooney proved to be a better aeronautical engineer than businessman. Learning that the aircraft maker was hopelessly in debt, Rachal decided to take "a calculated risk." In 1954, on the night before Mooney planned to file for involuntary bankruptcy, Rachal and a brother-in-law, Norman...
