Historian and author H.T. Bryer has penned a fascinating book revealing the untold story of Frank Calvin Mann, the brilliant Black engineer Howard Hughes secretly relied upon for his aeronautical innovations.
“Foremost, I would like to thank my brother and collaborator Paul Bryer, without whose prodigious memory and tenacity this story would have died out, faded, and passed with the memories of those who knew Frank and knew of his incomprehensible accomplishments and contributions to the world.”
Mann’s contributions shed light on the unsung talent of a brilliant Black engineer Howard Hughes collaborated with, often out of the public eye.
Delving into archives, Bryer’s work finally gives overdue recognition to this pivotal Black engineer Howard Hughes relied on for groundbreaking designs.
