==Early history==
In 1924 Oscar Wyatt was born into poverty in Beaumont, Texas, left by an alcoholic father and raised by a single mother in Navasota, Texas. At age 16 he began earning money by flying planes, working as a crop duster for a nearby farm. A strong student, Wyatt was accepted to attend Texas A & M University but, in the midst of World War II, he left after a year of school in 1942 to enlist in the Army Air Corps as a pilot. Serving as a combat aviator in the South Pacific, Wyatt was wounded twice during battle and was decorated by age 21. After the war he returned to Texas A & M to complete his studies and earn a degree in Mechanical Engineering.〔
