Infos zur Firma: Stoddart Aircraft Radio, Hollywood / Los Angeles, Kalifornien
No company better represents this category than the Stoddart Aircraft Radio Company of Hollywood, California. It was founded by pioneer radio engineer, Richard R. Stoddart (born: 12/1/1900 - died: 9/26/1972). According to his official obituary he began his electronics career at age 15 by working for the Telefunken Wireless Company in New York, although another report indicates that he had a radio contract from Lee de Forest at age 14! After working as a radio operator on merchant ships, he also pursued another interest as a pilot, and barnstormed around the Poughkeepsie Airport during the 1920s. In the 1930s he was a field engineer for NBC. In 1938, Stoddart and Charles D. Perrine (W6CUH) designed the elaborate radio system for the historic Howard Hughes 1938 round-the-world flight. As the flight's radio officer,he was one of its five-man crew aboard the Lockheed two-engine plane and coordinated the complex communications links from country to country as the plane flew around the world in a record-breaking 91 hours, 8 minutes at an average speed of 218 miles-per-hour. The main radio room for this endeavor was on display at the New York World's Fair. In 1958, he was made a Fellow of the IEEE. The EMC Society now offers an annual "Stoddart Award" for technical excellence in the EMC field.
