Dutch Kindelberger turned his frustrating experiences as a steel mill apprentice into the impetus for his education and accomplishments. These were four pocket-poor, imagination-rich aeronautical geniuses named Glenn Martin, Donald Douglas, Larry Bell and Dutch Kindelberger. www.nationalaviation.org /website/index.asp?webpageid={F3401AC2-408C-42A7-AD0F-CDDC7942F110}&eID=347

North American Aviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The upshot was that North American became a manufacturing company run by James Kindelberger (who had been recruited from Douglas Aircraft Company), although it retained Eastern Airlines until 1938. Kindelberger moved the company's operations to southern California, which allowed flying year-round, and decided to focus on training aircraft, on the theory that it would be easier than trying to compete with established companies. But in 1934, the Air Mail Act of 1934 forced the breakup of such holding companies. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/North_American_Aviation

North American History - Biographies - Dutch Kindelberger James Howard “Dutch” Kindelberger was born in Wheeling, W.V., on May 8, 1895, the son of steelworker Charles Frederick Kindelberger. Kindelberger retired in 1960 as chief executive officer at the age of 65 and was succeeded by Lee Atwood. Kindelberger started working in the steel industry with his father but, in 1916, when he was 21 years old, went to study at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. www.boeing.com /history/bna/biog.html

Who Made the Mustang? The president of the reincarnated NAA was James H. Kindelberger, known, for no logical reason, as "Dutch." He had come to GAC from Douglas the previous year. Kindelberger, whose estimation of Schmued's abilities was evidently higher than Atwood's, put him in charge of the project. Lee Atwood became chief executive of North American after Kindelberger retired in failing health; he remained at the helm as the company entered the era of computers, cruise missiles, earth satellites, and moon rockets, retiring after its 1967 acquisition by Rockwell International. www.airspacemag.com /ASM/Mag/Index/1996/AS/wmtm.html

Kindelberger Kindelberger and W Leland 'Lee' Atwood were young engineers when they met at Douglas in 1930, working on the DC-1 and DC-2 transports. Kindelberger told them he could make a better design than that and completed the prototype of the legendary P-51 Mustang in four months. Kindelberger died in 1962, and Atwood then became Chairman of the Board. www.astronautix.com /astros/kinerger.htm

North American P-51D Mustang James "Dutch" Kindelberger, the president of North American, submitted the proposal to the British in January 1940 and on April 10 of the same year, approval was granted to design and build a prototype on the condition that it had to be ready in 120 days. On his return to the United States, he convinced James Kindelberger that such a canopy would be ideal for the Mustang. Kindelberger agreed and North American reached an agreement with the USAAF to test a 'bubble' canopy on a Mustang, with a P-51B selected to be the test aircraft. www.nzwarbirds.org.nz /p51a.html

James Kiss, executive vice president at Chester Burger Co., a New York management consulting firm that works with PR firms and departments, remembers the splashy introduction of RCA Corp.'s new logo at an affair in a ballroom of the Roosevelt Hotel before "the cream of American business" in the 1960s.

North American Aviation - Wikipedia En aquel momento North American se convirtió en fabricante de aviones, dirigida por James Kindelberger que antes había estado trabajando para la Douglas Aircraft Company. Kindelberger movió la base de la compañía al sur de California, y se le permitió volar casi un año en el que decidió centrarse en los aviones entrenadores, ya que en teoría era más fácil competir en ese sector que en otros donde ya había compañías muy sólidas establecidas. En 1934 el 'Air Mail Act' forzó a muchas empresas a dejar esta práctica. es.wikipedia.org /wiki/North_American_Aviation

The P-51 Mustang: sights, sounds, history -MustangsMustangs James H. "Dutch" Kindelberger, president of North American Aviation, was approached by the British to build the P-40 at the North American production facility because Curtiss Aircraft was at full capacity. James was flying in a formation of 4 mustangs awaiting their turn to perform when James went down on the east side of Winnebago Lake. Then Kindelberger somehow, with no real evidence that it could be done, convinced the British that North American Aviation could design and build a new fighter that was better than the P-40. www.mustangsmustangs.net /p-51/p51.shtml

North American Co Therefore, North American's airline interests were separated from its airplane-building concerns, and 39-year-old James "Dutch" Kindelberger became President and General Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft. Kindelberger felt that NAA would have the best chance of success if it concentrated on small, single-engined airplanes, rather than competing with manufacturers of large, multi-engined aircraft. When Kindelberger went east, he took with him two key aircraft designers from Douglas Aircraft, Lee Atwood and J S Smithson. www.aerofiles.com /noram-co.html

The Birth of SAF 3 (3) Kindelberger had started his career in the 1910's as a designer by the Glenn L Martin Company. Kindelberger scrapped all present projects and introduced his own designs. True, however, is that Kindelberger promised to give them a finished aircraft within twelve months. www.ungermark.se /elarm3.html

Original Artwork: David K. Stone: James H. Kindelberger A man of great vision and strength, Virginia-born James Kindelberger pioneered the American aviation industry, nurturing its growth to world leadership. After the war, Kindelberger led the company into the jet age, producing the Navy's first jet fighter and the Air Force's first four-jet bomber, and later the F-86 Sabre Jet, and the supersonic F-100 Super Sabre. Before his death in 1962, Kindelberger encouraged the dawn of the space age, experimenting with space research. www.artworkoriginals.com /EB5TCLKT.htm

Antics, Airfix 1:48 P-51 Mustang (05104) Designed by James Kindelberger in 1940 to a British Purchasing Commission's requirement for a new RAF fighter, the prototype was designed and built in the incredibly short time of 117 days. Of clean appearance and powered by a 1,150 h.p Allison engine, it employed low-drag laminar-flow section wings and a distinctive cooling radiator intake beneath the wing centre-section. Regarded by many as the finest single-seat piston-engined fighter aircraft of the Second World War, the North American Mustang possessed three of the most important attributes a fighter needs - speed, range and manoeuvrability. www.anticsonline.co.uk /669_1_12466.html

Spaceflight :Postwar U.S. Rocketry At North American Aviation in Los Angeles, another aircraft firm, the chairman James Kindelberger had greater ambitions. A staff scientist, James van Allen, wanted a research rocket that was smaller and less costly than the V-2. His inquiries led him to the California firm of Aerojet, which was already building small rockets for the Army. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/SPACEFLIGHT/postwar_rocketry/SP8.htm

North American O-47 A number of further refinements were made by chief engineer and president of N.A.A., James "Dutch" Kindelberger, who had come to North American with the acquisition of the Berliner-Joyce Aircraft Corporation in 1933. Following these trials, the aircraft was flown to the newly-established North American Aviation plant in Inglewood, California, where it was re-designated the NA-15. The XO-47/NA-15 was accepted by the U.S. Army Air Corps, and on Aug 15, 1936; they ordered 109 aircraft. www.nasm.si.edu /research/aero/aircraft/NAO-47.htm
