Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe
Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe was well known in the early aero world as a financier, offering prizes such as the Deutsch prize for a dirigible round trip and the Deutsch-Archdeacon prize for a successful airplane flight; and underwriting the Institut aérotechnique for aerodynamics research. He was a founding member of the Automobile Club de France and of the Aéro-Club de France.[1]
Deutsch was born into a merchant family and, with Rothschild financing, went with his brothers into the petroleum business. Their company, which had the title Les Fils de A. Deutsch, by 1902 handled 16% of France's crude oil imports.[2]
In 1907, he offered his personal airship, Ville de Paris, to the French government, following the loss of Le Patrie.[2][3]
