Olive Ann Beech: Aerospace Pioneer
|
 |
| |
Mayo describes Olive Ann Beech as a business
genius who, following the death of husband Walter Beech in 1950, took
control of Beech Aircraft and, with dignity and authority, projected
an executive style that commanded respect in a male-dominated industry.
In doing so, Beech carved out a niche for herself in the aerospace
industry, where she is regarded as a pioneer. With the help of her
daughters, the exhibition curators were able to organize a recreation
of her office and display model planes, photographs, and aviation
industry awards. |
