Source: Annual Record, B.Y. University, Book 4, page 140. ~ ~ ~ ~ Robert H. Hinckley, Sr. was born in Fillmore, Utah in 1892. He first flew in 1913 with famous aviatrix Melli Beese while in Berlin, Germany. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1916 and started Pacific Airways in Ogden in 1927. Under his leadership Pacific Airways led the way in a number of innovations in flight, including the air-dropping of supplies to forest-fire fighting crews, and the airborne census of big game. The company also established an outstanding record of 10 years without a fatal accident. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Hinckley to the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA), the forerunner of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). His first project was to oversee the construction of Washington National Airport in the nation's capital. (Under his leadership the airport was built by 1940, well ahead of schedule and in record time.) In 1939, the President appointed Hinckley Chairman of the CAA and called upon him to make a reality of Hinckley's greatest dream for aviation: an educational base from which aviation could grow. This vision was manifested in the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP). ------ I'd Rather Be Born Lucky Than Rich: The Autobiography of Robert H. Hinckley ------- By Robert H. Hinckley and JoAnn Jacobsen Wells Brigham Young University Press No. 7 Charles Redd Monographs in Western History, 1977 160 pages. By any reckoning, Robert H. Hinckley is a remarkable man. Very few of Utah's native sons have compiled such an outstanding record of service in so many different areas - business, agriculture, education, and perhaps most notably, government service and politics. Certainly his story deserves to be told. Despite the title, a great deal more than mere luck was responsible for Hinckley's successes and his community and his country have been richer for his contributions. This volume recounts Hinckley's origins from Mormon pioneer stock in central Utah, his early life in Provo and education at Brigham Young High School, and his courtship and marriage of Abrelia Clarissa Seely. He served a mission to Germany (where he met another young Utahn named Marriner Eccles), taught in North Sanpete High School, opened an automobile dealership, and was elected to the state legislature at the age of twenty-eight. Two years later he was elected mayor of Mt. Pleasant. The most significant part of the book for historians begins with the Great Depression and Hinckley's move to the nation's capital to do his part in the relief effort of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal." Hinckley became Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Air in 1940, playing an important role in the building of Washington's National Airport. His efforts also helped give thousands of young men rudimentary flight training anticipating the mobilization of the country's aviation resources prior to World War II. Other significant government and private sector service in the early 1940s prepared him for his part with Ed Noble in the early 50s, in the creation of the ABC television network. His interest in the political arena spurred him to establish the nonpartisan Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah in 1966. In fact, the scope and diversity of Robert Hinckley's undertakings make it impossible to do him justice in a brief recapitulation. But saying that Hinckley is a remarkable man is not quite the same as saying this is a remarkable book. To the contrary, this seventh number in the Charles Redd Monographs in Western History has several shortcomings that demand comment. The prose style is uneven and awkward in places; the tone often resembles a kind of rambling oral history memoir rather than the polished writing we might expect of a man of distinction. It is a little difficult to determine to what audience the book was directed. While scholars will find unnecessary the accounts of historical events about which Hinckley possessed little special knowledge (e.g., the choice of the Democratic Party's vice- presidential candidate in 1960), the general reader will probably learn more than he really wants to know about relief measures in the 1930s or contract settlement at the end of World War II. For the most part, it is evident that the editors did their homework and put Mr. Hinckley's papers to good use in reconstructing his story, but a few factual errors remain: The Texas Congressman who first brought Lyndon Johnson to Washington was named Kleberg, not Klebert; Johnson was majority leader in the 1950s, not Democratic whip of the Senate; and at one point (page 83) the implication seems to be that the Second World War began in Europe in the spring of 1939 rather than on September 1. There are a few typographical errors but not so many as to be distracting. We suspect that the author occasionally indulged in namedropping, but hearing first-hand about his dealings with Fiorello LaGuardia, Lucius Clay, Jimmy Doolittle, James Forrestal, Jesse Jones, Elmer Davis, and a score of other important historical personages is half the fun. Hinckley is not reluctant to tell you where he stood concerning the events he witnessed and that may constitute the most valuable part of this work. He was a Democrat all his life "because Democrats were for people," while "Republicans were in favor of things - things like high tariffs to protect business." Some readers may take issue with his assertion on two separate occasions that "Roosevelt and Hopkins together are the reason America didn't go communistic." "During the Hoover Administration, the American populace was ready to go communistic." But few will quarrel with his conclusion that "political wallflowers don't make our democracy work" and that the best way to improve the system is, in Harry Truman's words, "to improve the breed" of politicians. That much Robert Hinckley seems to have tried very hard to do, and if this book inspires more people, young or old, to emulate his example of public service it will have been well worth the effort.
