Product Overview

Harry P. Williams and James R. Wedell formed one of the most productive alliances in aviationduring the 1930s. Their company, the Wedell-Williams Air Service Corporation, left a remarkable legacy to the world of air racing and the state of Louisiana. Jimmie Wedell possessed a keen sense of aerodynamics. His aircraft designs set a precedent by demonstrating that bigger engines with more power were not always the right combination to place first. The Wedell-Williams story is about individual genius, business savvy, and dedicated teamwork. It is a history of air racing at its best.
