Historical Note
Theodore (Ted) C. Coleman was the Vice President for Sales for the Northrop Corporation when the company was formed in 1939. He was also a director of the company until 1946, when he left to form Coleman Engineering Company. Both Northrop and Coleman Engineering did contract work developing equipment and aircraft for the U.S. Air Force. Coleman was a member of the early aviators club Conquistadores del Cielo.
