 | | Chauncey (Chance) Milton Vought was born in New York City in 1890. |
 | | From 1929 until 1934, when it was forced to dissolve by provisions of the Air Mail Act of 1934, Chance Vought was part of the holding company, United Aircraft and Transport Corporation (UATC) along with Pratt and Whitney, Boeing Airplane and Transport, Hamilton Metalplane, and Sikorsky. |
 | | At the end of October 2001, Vought announced that it would be cutting 1,200 jobs, or 20 percent of its work force, partly as a result of a downturn at Boeing due to lessening aircraft purchases resulting from a general downturn in the economy and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. |
