Frederick Norton, NASA Langley's first technical employee.
Fred Norton, Langley’s first technical employee, began a longstanding tradition at the Hampton laboratory – flight research. In 1919 he and partner Edward Warner used two loaner Army JN-4H Jennies from the U.S. Army to do aerodynamic and handling quality experiments. He also helped design Langley’s first wind tunnel.
