At the Dawn of Commercial Aviation: Inglis M. Uppercu and Aeromarine Airways

Author

Listed:
  • Leary, William M.

Abstract

Only a few years before Juan Trippe of Pan American Airways successfully established an international commercial air carrier based upon the flying boat, Inglis M. Uppercu, with apparently ample financial and managerial resources, failed to do so. In telling why, Professor Leary demonstrates the overwhelming importance of timing and a knowledge of the exact nature of market opportunities in the entrepreneurial process.
