We have:
- Brothers William Thomas Thomas and Oliver Thomas of the Thomas Brothers Aeroplane Company, where they were joined by D. Douglas Thomas, no relation
- William Thomas Thomas, the author of Thomas, 1910, The Thomas biplane, and is associated with what else we have on the Thomas biplane.
- Charles Bartlett Thomas, the inventor
- Herbert J. Thomas, a director of the British and Colonial Aeroplane Co.
- George Holt Thomas, the inventor, the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Managing Director of Airships, Limited ; though we have treated his corporate role(s) in terms of his professional occupation, as an individual, due to the phraseology on the original patent documents, it seems that he filed almost always, possibly always, in collaboration with other inventors, prompting speculation as to whether his was a role of corporatization and industrialization, with crucial aspects of truer innovation as such coming from the less quantifiably significant inventors with whom he collaborated. One key example of this may be Geoffrey de Havilland, in that this inventor has entered our data via other routes in addition to these collaborative filings.
- Benjamin Douglas Thomas, the inventor, filing with Thomas-Morse Aircraft Corporation, though at present our data on said firm gives only W. T. Thomas and Oliver Thomas
- Isaac D. Thomas, to which Patent US-1909-986418 was assigned
