Newsletter Carnuba Sikorsky 38 and Samuel C. Johnson Johnson was the chairman emeritus of SC Johnson Wax and was as devoted to aviation as his father, who in 1935 flew a Sikorsky S-38 amphibian to Brazil in search of Carnauba palms, a key ingredient in wax.

Johnson), had his own epiphany: to re-energize the company and family spirit by making the same flight 60 years later—in the identical airplane his father had flown. www.strangebirds.com /Carnauba-Johnson.html   (1681 words)
