Grover Cleveland Loening was an aero engineer who got his start working for the Wright Brothers. He was hired to run Queen Aeroplane Company and Sturtevant Aeroplane Company and later started Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation.
He was the first person with the tile "Aeronautical Engineer, U.S. Army Corps", in which capacity–following a series of fatal crashes–he condemned the Army's Wright and Curtiss pushers on safety grounds.[1]
(Loening later made an important statement that the Wrights had given Glenn Curtiss scientific data for use by the Aerial Experiment Association, which he had then used commercially without their permission.)[2]
A substantial wikipedia article about him is available, and cites several of his publications.[3]
He had some aero patents beyond our time period: Hydroairplane FR588054A Filed 1924-10-25; Airplane CA253211A Granted 1925-09-01 ; Airplane CA229060A Granted 1923-02-27
