Aviation Visionary, Smilin Jack Conroy

Jack Conroy, the creator of the Pregnant Guppy, believed in his visions and didn t tolerate naysayers. His smile was an integral part of his personality. With it he charmed the ladies, was devilish when he was up to mischief, and was disarming when he wanted to be. Conroy sold the stock he had in the company that operated the Guppys after a difference of opinion with some stockholders. He then started the Conroy Aircraft Corporation and that s where this story begins. During its five years of existence, Conroys creative genius and individuality took the company on an exciting rollercoaster ride. The authors, Kirby and Warner, believed, and still believe, that Conroy was one of aviations truly great visionary entrepreneurs and promoters. They were with Smilin Jack from the very conception of the Conroy Aircraft Corporation to its heartwrenching demise. The authors have a natural storytelling talent that brings this saga to life for the reader s enjoyment. We believe you will find this book informative, fascinating and a delightful read. Clay Lacy graciously wrote the books foreword to honor his longtime friend, Jack Conroy. They had many flying adventures together and some misadventures as related in this book.
