Homer Kelley's Credentials

want to know.

SuperDave, a.k.a., Inquiring Mind...

I continue to respond only as I see a benefit to the readers of this Site:

Credentials: Homer Kelley was a born 'problem solver' without an
engineering degree who worked for the Boeing Corporation, the world's leading
manufacturer of aircraft.

"There was no title for what I did."
-- Homer Kelley

During the last few years of his career, there was only one signature that
could release a B-47 as ready technically for sale. That signature was his.

Time Factor: By his own admission, Homer was not proud of the fact
that it took him so long. "You guys," he said to the five of us
gathered in his den, "could have done it much sooner." Sure. Sooner
as in 'never.'

Results (you forgot to ask about this): He got it right.

Be heartened, SuperDave. You've been at it fifteen years, and you've only got
another thirteen to go. Stay with it!

But remember The Standard:


Get it right.
