He eventually acquired 500,000 acres in the Eagle Ford shale and became the fourth-biggest gas producer in Texas. He owns America's biggest fleet of air-worthy World War II fighter planes, including a P-38 dug out of a Greenland glacier and restored. In 2004 Lewis was the first U.S. oilman to sign a contract to drill for Pemex in Mexico.
