1409) Allan Lockheed

Allan Haines Lockheed (né Allan Haines Loughead; 1889 – 1969). American aviation engineer and business man. He formed the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company along with his brother, Malcolm Loughead, that became Lockheed Corporation.
Loughead legally changed his name to Allan Lockheed, the phonetic spelling of his family name to avoid spelling confusion, in 1934. After World War II, he continued his career as a real estate salesman while occasionally serving as an aviation consultant.
