    Benjamin Odell Howard (February 4, 1904 December 4, 1970), was an aviator and aeronautical engineer from the United States, whose aircraft won the Bendix Trophy and the Thompson Trophy in 1935.

    History

    At 17 Howard's interest in flying was sparked when he saw a band of gypsy fliers performing in their flying circus. By 18 he had saved up enough cash to buy an OX-5 powered Standard biplane. In those days learning how to fly was often self-taught and Howard thought he was up to it. The Standard was a safe plane and he seemed to be learning fine when while flying was unable to pull out of a spin, crashed breaking his leg and writing off the plane, as well.

    It took a long time to set his leg but at age 19, Howard moved to Dallas and started working in the Curtiss Aircraft factory. The pay was not as good as what others jobs paid but what he learned about design and construction of aircraft was worth more than money. Over the next few years he tinkered with aircraft design using spare parts to build his first plane, at the request of a Houston bootlegger, who dubbed the resulting "rum-runner" a "Darned Good Airplane," DGA-1 giving it and future Howard aircraft their trademarked initials of DGA. Howard later in life admitted to doing some airborne bootlegging himself during prohibition.

    Follaton Wood

    by: Ben Howard

    Oh you
    Screamed Hallelujah darling,
    startled all the sleeping Starlins on the wire.
    As we walked up the footpath through the fields,
    how the rain did reveal your heart.
    And the rope swing from the balance held the weight,
    shadows fall and a cold wind blows.
    And you said oh maybe we're just lost souls here,
    maybe oh everybody goes.
    Oh we were
    Young oh ho we were young. Oh we were
    Young oh ho we were young.
    Still don't, don't you forget.
    That rope you tied around your neck.
    Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
    Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
    And it took them three days to find you,
    tired torch lights and dog scents.
    Oh they led you down from the highest branches,
    cold eyes and frozen arms.
    And my my my your beauty was so dumbfounded,
    lace white dress and your hair as long as Follaton Woods.
    And the whole town just stood there crying looking at the darkness,
    for something wholesome and good.
    Oh good, oh ho oh oh.
    Oh good, oh ho oh oh.
    Still don't, don't you forget.
    That rope you tied around your neck.
    Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
    Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
    Hums
    Morning white mist came across the plane,
    blue skies and rain.
    Oh and it was the strangest day,
    people taking cover people holding shame.
    Oh you'd left your
    Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
    Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
    Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
    Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
    Heart oh.
