Dixon or Chuck, as his aviation peers call him, has over 70 years’ experience in the aviation business. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Mississippi State University and a Master of Science Degree from the University of Southern California both with a major in Aeronautical Engineering. He is also an Instrument Rated Pilot and has a master’s degree in Business Administration. That did not come easy. Chuck’s life began in 1930 during the Great Depression. Finances to accomplish all the above were not available, but his parents did teach him determination to accomplish his goals.
World War II began and ended during his school years in Whitehaven, Tennessee. He was inspired by aviation that was on the ground and in the air. During high school he joined the Naval Air Reserve. He served as an aircraft mechanic for two years during the Korean War. His first wife was a great young lady that helped and encouraged him for 44 years in his aviation career.
Chuck took advantage of the GI Bill and began studies at Mississippi State College when released from active duty. His aeronautical engineering career consisted of working for two major aircraft companies for 36 years plus 31 years with his own company. Chuck demonstrated his creative ability by being the prime inventor for five United States Patents. The last two, obtained while doing business in his own company, have been proven with full-scale flight tests. Chuck has written and published many technical papers.
Much help for this book was provided by his second wife, Frieda, and by the members of the Christian Authors Guild and Word Weavers International.voir moins
