Abstract

The word “esteemed” — “to be highly regarded with respect” — certainly describes Jerry Lederer, a friend and colleague that I had the privilege of spending many hours with during his retirement years prior to his passing in 2004 at the age of 102. He was extremely modest about his accomplishments, which are legendary in the fields of flight and aerospace safety.
