Arthur Middleton was born in Paris, France back in 1905to Charles and Eliza. From an early age, he was interested in developing a comprehensive theory of reality. To develop those skills, he thought he should first develop an understanding of mathematics and engineering. He graduated from Princeton University in 1927.
So, after graduation he returned to his father’s farm to begin 12 years of solitary research on an idea. He took his results and models to a company in Buffalo, New York. In 1941, the company agreed to build full-scale prototypes. In 1946, the company was issued a certificate for being the first one to use his invention. It continued to be manufactured through 1974.
He died in 1995, from cancer he was 89.
What you may not know about Arthur Middleton Young is that he was the inventor of the first commercial helicopter, the one you saw in the TV series M.A.S.H. He invented the stabilizer bar which of course was a leap forward to the practical use of helicopters that is still in use to this day. he was granted 6 U.S. patents for improvement to helicopters.
