Yup, and there are so many companies where they did the shitty thing.
In this case Goodyear was founded in Ohio, and Zeppelin by Count Zeppelin. (Weirdly, Goodyear wasn’t founded by Goodyear, just named after him because he invented vulcanized rubber).
The Goodyear-zeppelin partnership turned into Goodyear aerospace before the war, then severed ties with Zeppelin when the war started, and eventually got purchased by Lockheed Martin, which doesn’t make blimps, so it kinda just went away.
Didn’t know that. Just had heard it was the same people who started the company.
