Sammy Mason (Fournier Sam's grandfather) was a most colorful aviation character with an airshow, instructing, and test piloting career that lasted from the 1930s to the 1990s and covered both fixed wing and rotary winged aircraft.
Sam was the first person to ever loop or roll a helicopter, flew with Tex Rankin, displayed a 450 Stearman, and (the most important accomplishment) flew one of the first Bucker Jungmann ever to come to the USA.
Sammy's autobiography "Faith and Flight" is available at Amazon.com now as a Kindle download for only US$1.99
As you might guess, the book chronicles Sammy's religious life, as well as his aviation career. I found the book to be a compelling read.
