About the Author :
Eugene E. Wilson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Tallmadge Wilson, was born on August 21, 1887, in Dayton, Washington. In Helena, Montana, from 1897 to 1902, his father, a well-known banker in the Tacoma, Washington, region, served as receiver for insolvent banks. Young Eugene attended schools in Helena at that time. He earned his degree from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1908, and in 1911 he married Genevieve Speer. He graduated with a master's in engineering from Columbia University in 1915.Eugene fought in the USS Arkansas during World War I and left the service in 1930. He pursued a career in civil aviation, holding executive positions at Chance Vought Corporation, Sikorsky Aviation Corporation, and Hamilton-Standard Propeller Corporation. Wilson came to be known for important technological advancements such the first carrier task force, long-range fighter bombers, controllable pitch propellers, and radial air-cooled engines. He published books as well. He was still interested in his early Montana links, and he and his father, Eugene T. Wilson, co-wrote an article about the Nez Perce War. Wilson passed away in July 1974.
