William Edgar Baxter, Jr. (Jul 25, 1916 to May 28, 2006), the son of W. E. Baxter, Sr., is best remembered as a pioneer missionary pilot. Fluent in Spanish, the son of missionary parents also devoted his life to overseas mission service first in Colombia and Venezuela, and later in Mexico as head of the Theological Department at Montemorelos. For many years he had a dream of being a flying missionary. In 1953, with the financial assistance of private organizations such as The Quiet Hour, Liga, Missions Unlimited, and Amistad, he pioneered flying missionary work in the Huichol regions of Mexico to meet humanitarian needs there.
