If World War II American Aircraft Were Named After Designers

[Adam Kline]

As an engineer, I find that concept rather insulting!

I can understand having the manufacturer name, but naming the plane after one engineer takes away the credit from hundreds and even thousands of other engineers involved in the process.

I know what your saying, but if you every had the pleasure of working for these guys, in my case Jack Northrop, you wouldn't.

Oh please do tell us about it sir! Pretty sure it is worthwhile of a few good posts if you do not mind sharing!

Sincerely.
