Robert E. Gross (1897–1961) played a pivotal role in shaping the American aerospace industry during and after World War II. As president of Lockheed, Gross transformed the company from a struggling aircraft manufacturer into one of the leading aviation giants of the era. Under his leadership, Lockheed developed groundbreaking aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning, used extensively in WWII, and the Constellation airliner, a symbol of postwar commercial aviation. At the time of this issue’s publication, Gross was a key figure in the transition from wartime production to peacetime innovation, positioning Lockheed at the forefront of modern aviation.
