About the Author

Robert Merrill MacLean, son of Thyra and Russel Merrill, retired in 1994 from the sailmaking business he began as an outgrowth of his involvement in sailboat racing. He was a naval aviator in World War II, earned a degree in industrial engineering at the University of Washington, and later worked as a manager for Todd Shipyards in Seattle. Sean Rossiter is the author of four books, including LEGENDS OF THE AIR (1990), which details the development and use of aircraft at Seattle's Museum of Flight.
