<strong>Guggenheim</strong> <strong>Partners</strong>, <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Aircraft</strong> <strong>Investments</strong> - OVERVIEW<br />

The <strong>Guggenheim</strong> name has a rich legacy of contributing to the development<br />

of aviation. Beginning in the 1920s, Daniel and Harry <strong>Guggenheim</strong><br />

transformed the infant aviation industry. Together they:<br />

• Funded seven schools of aeronautic engineering in the United States<br />

• Established a model airline and the first aviation weather service<br />

• Formed a “Full Flight Laboratory” to develop the instruments needed to fly with zero visibility<br />

• Funded Charles Lindbergh’s national tour following his historic trans-Atlantic flight<br />

• Funded Robert Goddard’s pioneering rocketry efforts and subsequent jet propulsion work<br />

“Aviation will always owe a debt of gratitude to Daniel <strong>Guggenheim</strong>”<br />

-Charles A. Lindbergh<br />
