== Biography ==
The basic biographical facts about Mr. Daly are very limited. There is a distinct lack of information about his private life and his life before becoming the owner of World Airways. The basic facts have been repeated in news articles over and over again. Edward Joseph Daly was born to parents Edward Michael Daly and Elizabeth Grace in Chicago Illinois on November 22, 1922.〔(R. E. G. 1987. Rebels and Reformers of the Airways. Washington, D.C:Smithsonian Institution Press. )〕 His father, a firefighter, died when he was only 15 years old, and Daly helped support his family by working summers as an onion topper and in college running a truck line. The truck line was operating with three tractors and 5 trailers when he sold it.〔(EDWARD A. 1967. “World Airways Sets High Goals: Chief Seeks ‘Zero-Defects’ Airline in the Future.” New York Times, February 12, sec. Sports. http://0search.proquest.com.opac.sfsu.edu/docview/118093746/abstract/2456611107024C2EPQ/44?accountid=13802. )〕 Already Daly was exhibiting the skills that would propel his later airline business. While doing all of this he managed to become a Golden Glove boxer. A skill set that he would use later in Vietnam. Daly refutes his image as a kid from the slums of Chicago though he does admit that the time after his fathers death was rough.〔(Harry. 1975. “Heroes of the Vietnam Orphan Lift: High-Flying Ed Daly and His World Airlines.” People, June 16. )〕
He attended the University of Illinois where he majored in biochemical engineering before being drafted in 1941 into the Army during World War II. Daly is quoted as saying it is a good thing he never finished his degree as,“I was the world’s worst chemical engineer”.〔〔(Thomas W. 1968. “Ex-Teller Writes Check---Buys Bank: Daly Planning Expansion of First Western Ex-Teller Writes Check--Buys Bank.” Los Angeles Times (1923-Current File), July 28, sec. I )〕 While serving in the Army Daly achieved the rank of sergeant rank and served in the Pacific.〔 Other details that are mentioned about his service but not confirmed by other sources are: he was injured (how is not specified),〔(Washington Post (1974-Current File). 1984. “Edward J.
