A light-hearted talk about some of the high achievers who were overshadowed by those who flew even higher. The silver medal winners in the fame game. I conclude with someone who was famous in one field but should be celebrated in another.

About Keith Stanley

I spent the early part of my career in aviation before diversifying and moving into management. Now retired, I retain a deep interest in aviation as well as military history. I added family history to my portfolio, “not because it is easy, but because it is hard” (to quote JFK) I am happy to talk to groups of any age.
