'''John Knudsen Northrop'''(1895-1981), known more widely as Jack, was born in Newark, [[New Jersey]]. He was an aviation engineer and designer, and also founder of [[Northrop]] Cooperation (now know as [[Northrop Grumman]]), a leading provider of military aircraft, and armaments. Northrop is probably best known for his work in the creation of the [[B-2 Spirit|B-2 Spirit bomber]]. Former company partner and pioneer aviation engineer, [[David Douglas Sr.]], stated when remembering Northrop achievements that, “Every Major airplane in the skies today has some Jack Northrop in it."
