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 unique 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.
