About This Item
This versatile powerhouse American businessman (he was at various times in charge of behemoths as diverse as Boeing, Time, Abercombie & Fitch, New York Trust Company, Union Pacific and others) parlayed his World War One service as naval aviator into the influential position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air and oversaw naval aviation during World War Two, then serving briefly as Undersecretary of the Navy in 1945. TNS, 1p, 7" X 9 3/4", New York, NY, 10 November 1939. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, future noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar), whether related or not unknown. Near fine. On imprinted letterhead, this Gates thanks the other Gates "for your nice letter... and the wishes contained therein." Large, bold full signature. Unusual.
