Walter Frederick Morrison

Walter Frederick Morrison was an American inventor and entrepreneur best known for creating the Frisbee. A fighter pilot during World War II, he saw potential in the playful act of tossing pie plates, which inspired him to develop a plastic disc version of the game in 1948 alongside his partner Warren Franscioni. Morrison's invention revolutionized outdoor recreation, leading to the Frisbee becoming a cultural icon and a staple of American leisure activities.
