  2. My father (same name) was the 28th Pilot ever hired by Piedmont. The plane is an F-27.

  3. This photograph was probably taken in mid 1957 since the large picture of the F-27 did not appear until about that time. It was used in promotional activities and hung in the lobby of the headquarters office on North Liberty Street prior to the delivery of the first F-27 in 1958. On the left is Richard E. Hodges, account executive with Liller, Neal, Battle & Lindsey; in the center is William G. McGee, Piedmont’s General Sales Manager at that time; and, on the right is John K. Ottley, vice president and account executive with Liller, Neal, Battle & Lindsey, the agency that represented Piedmont from 1953 until 1978. Bill McGee continued to head the marketing department, becoming a senior executive later in his career and was Piedmont’s President and CEO shortly before the merger with USAir.
