Granger and his wife, and fellow Clover Register pilot, Clema, were two of the best-known players in west coast Golden Age flying. He and Clema owned and operated at Clover Field an aviation business named J.E. Granger, Inc. Besides maintenance, fueling, storage and other aviation services, they also distributed both Black Hawk and Swallow aircraft.

This is a wonderfully candid and informative page for Granger, as it was built with the help of his family who shared many photographs and documents celebrating his life in aviation. One of them, left, shows Granger with a Butler Blackhawk aircraft, probably NC370K. His biography page includes many other photos and interesting downloads.
