Rodman Wanamakerとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Lewis Rodman Wanamaker (February 13, 1863 – March 9, 1928) was a Republican and was a Presidential Elector for Pennsylvania in 1916. Wanamaker created aviation history by financing a two plane experimental seaplane class (the Curtiss Model H) in response to a prize contest announcement by London's The Daily Mail newspaper in 1913 — the flying boat designs which resulted became very important in military and commercial aviation until well after the advent of the Jet Airliner, forming the basis for thirty plus years of international commercial air travel before there were widespread airports. In many parts of the world today, the flying boat, a legacy of his patriotism, is still very important.
