Lewis H. Height

[HRM]

Does the name Lewis H. Height ring a bell for anyone? He would have been a contemporary of Al Mooney.

Harley,

This guy?

1929 patent for some similar looking foldable landing gear. The crank handle looks a hair more complex than the beloved J-Bar of 1965.

Best regards,

Yes, that guy!

 

I found the patent, which is apparently one of three for Al....but who is Lewis Height?

 

Sort of like, Who Is John Galt?

Yes, I know Lewis H. Height, Sr. He is my grandfather and I heard many stories about Al Mooney, Mooney Aircraft, the landing gear, Alexander Aircraft, the Eagle Rock, the OX5 Club, etc.
