This is the story of Walter and Olive Ann Beech, the remarkable couple whose careers spanned virtually the entire history of American aviation. It is also the story of a marriage of opposites. Walter was a charming rascal, a hard-living barnstormer. Olive Ann was a shy small-town Kansas girl who hid that shyness behind an imperious manner and a backbone of steel. Together they founded Beech Aircraft Corp. in the teeth of the Great Depression and guided their company to fame and fortune. Their lives intersected with the giants of aviation: Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, Jimmy Doolittle, and many others. Their customers ranged from Arthur Godfrey to Lyndon B. Johnson, from Hollywood stars to Pentagon generals. Their company did much to transform Wichita, Kansas, from a dusty cow town to today's Aircraft Capital of the World. Even before Walter's shockingly early death, Olive Ann had quietly assumed the dominant role in their company. She was a woman in a man's world, one of the very first women in American history to lead a major corporation. But when male underlings attempted a corporate coup, she crushed it; when a big Eastern bank disrespected her, she dumped it. She died a millionaire many times over. The Barnstormer and the Lady, written by former Wall Street Journal reporter Dennis Farney, begins with an era when pilots still wore scarves and leather helmets and to fly was, quite literally, to defy death. It ends with aviation as a multi-billion-dollar industry. Bridging this colorful history were Walter and Olive Ann Beech, aristocrats of the air.

They were Oklahoma’s most infamous outlaws, gentleman bandits who robbed trains and banks until meeting their end in a blaze of gunfire on the streets of Coffeyville, Kansas. They were first cousins of the Younger brothers who had ridden with Jesse James, stole horses from Will Rogers’ father, and hid out with Belle Starr’s daughter Pearl. Less known is the fact that they started out as respected deputy U. S. marshals, until politics and recklessness led them to a life of crime. Their first train robbery was in California, resulting in the trial of the century for that state, followed by a jailbreak aided by a prominent politician. Back in Oklahoma and Indian Territories they robbed more trains, gaining notoriety and support from the common people of the area. In 1892 they tried to rob two banks at once in their home town of Coffeyville, but the citizens took up arms against them in a gunfight that left eight people dead. Based on meticulous research into original source documents from the National Archives, period newspaper accounts, and Emmett Dalton’s memoirs, this book dispels many of the myths about the Daltons, reveals many new details about their career, and dramatically brings to life their personalities and motivations. It’s a stirring story of young men hell-bent on excitement and adventure.
