Williams, millionaire aviator and husband of Marguerite Clark, star of the silent screen.

In 1926 Williams met Jimmy We- dell, a barnstorming aviator, and began an association which carried Wedell to fame before he preceded his employer to death in an ail- crash in 1934. With Williams supplying the money, Wedell, his brot plying her, alter, and Wqrthen built the Wedell-Wil- liams air service which became one of the nation's largest private services.
