Timeline

1920

Percy Addison Wood Jr. (June 7, 1920 – June 23, 2008) was a United Airlines executive who was notably injured by a bomb sent from Ted Kaczynski.

Wood had never met Kaczynski, but Kaczynski was believed to be fascinated with wood, sometimes encasing his bombs in wood, and may have chosen Wood in part for his name.

Wood was born in Oakland, California, on June 7, 1920, and resided in San Mateo, California, Greenwich, Connecticut, and Lake Forest, Illinois, prior to retiring to Florida.

He was past President and Chief Operating Officer of United Airlines, where he worked for 41 years.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Mary Sherwood (October 2, 1920 – September 16, 2007), with whom he had four sons.

1941

Wood joined United in 1941, and was named president of the airline in 1978, taking over the post from Richard J. Ferris, who was named chairman of the board.

Ferris also was president of UAL Inc., parent company of the airline.

Wood attained the highest honor at both the Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout) and the Sea Scouts (Quartermaster), as well as being a Troop Leader.

In the last years of his life he lived in Sandhill Cove in Palm City, Florida, and was a 22-year resident of Mariner Sands, Stuart, Florida.

1980

Wood was injured June 10, 1980, in the fourth explosion attributed to the Unabomber, and suffered burns and cuts over much of his body when he opened a package left in the mailbox of his Lake Forest, Illinois, home.
