Paul Herbert Ridley-Tree

This is the remarkable and unique story of a man who went from working as a hotel desk clerk and a part-time theatre actor and being the disinherited and dispossessed son of an English knight to being a philanthropic spare parts entrepreneur in the aircraft industry.  The book tells of the amazing and one-of-a-kind ways that he used to start and grow his business. It deals with society, aviation, business, history, social science, British heraldry, family dynamics, and a slice of life mostly in Southern California in the middle and latter part of the last century.
