Robert E. Gross (1897–1961) was a pioneering figure in American aviation and a driving force behind the rise of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. Under his leadership, Lockheed became a dominant force during World War II, producing iconic aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning and the Hudson bomber. By early 1946, Gross was guiding Lockheed through the transition to peacetime production, with major innovations in commercial aviation on the horizon—including the Lockheed Constellation, one of the most advanced airliners of its time. His strategic vision and business acumen helped reshape both military and civilian aviation in the 20th century.
