Opis

A man amongst men describes Valentine Raphael McCabe best. He lived a life witnessing the early twentieth century historical events. In a way, through his job at Wright Aeronautical Corporation during World War II, he had his fair share of the Allies s victory. Born in Manhattan, he grew up in a devout Catholic and close-knit family. J.W. McCabe Co., Inc., a famous photo mount company in New York in the early 1900s, was owned by his Uncle Jim, and he worked there as a boy to earn his keep after his mom died. As a young man, he demonstrated his knack and skill in electromechanical design which will ultimately lead him to Wright Aeronautical Corporation and later on to Ford Motor Company in Michigan. His seventy-one amazing years on earth are told by his sons, Bill and Bob, with bits and pieces of history along the way. Witness a man s life surrounded with family love, history, and the now-seldom-seen values and culture of the good old times."
