Storied pilot Homer Stockert, born in Churubusco, Indiana, won air races in Fort Wayne in the 1920s, earning him legendary fame while only in his twenties. In 1933, he established the Stockert Flying Service at Bendix Field, South Bend, Indiana, an airport built by entrepreneur Vincent Bendix. After serving as a test pilot of the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft in Evansville, Indiana, during World War II, Stockert returned to Bendix Field to expand his flying service with his business-savvy wife, Dora. Stockert led a successful life of leadership in private aviation until his death in 1971. AUTHOR: Quenin L. Hartwig, Ph.D., earned his doctorate in Biology at the University of Notre Dame, served in the School of Aviation Medicine, USAF, wrote thirty-one published scientific articles, and has held teaching and administrative positions.
