...planned, Bill grew up to be a southpaw. But baseball was forgotten when the family moved to Oakland, Calif. Like any other youngster. Bill tried to imitate his older brother, who was a flashy, high-school basketball player.

Allison turboprop engine, and the two counterrotating propellers slowly lifted the plane up to 175 ft. Then, still hanging on its propellers, Pogo nosed over; as it began to pick up speed, it also began to pick up lift from its stubby wings, soon was sailing along in conventional level flight. After two 280-m.p.h. sweeps over the field, Pilot Coleman raised Pogo's nose, hovered like a helicopter over...
