In Memoriam-- Art Hall

Jan and Art Hall, just after his book was published.

It is with great sadness that we share the following:

Arthur I. Hall, Lt/Col USAF (and Member of the Howard Aircraft Foundation) passed away Tuesday, June 16, 2009. He was born August 4, 1924 in Elyria, Ohio. He had an avid interest in aviation since childhood with his twin brother, Arch. He served during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. He was an Air Force Fighter Pilot, and gained the rating of Command Pilot. His second career was at Lockheed Martin as a Design Engineer until retiring in 1990. He authored a newly published book, Howard's Golden Age, a technical/autobiographic novel that exemplified his passion for Aviation History, Design, and Air Racing.
