Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Edison Fulton, Jr. (April 15, 1909-May 7, 2004), was an American inventor and adventurer. He is known for having traveled around the world on a motorcycle and for several aviation related inventions, among his 70 patents. Fulton was also a professional photographer. Born in Manhattan, New York on April 15, 1909 and named for Thomas Edison, who was a friend of his father, Robert Fulton, Sr. His father was also a president of Mack Trucks. His maternal grandfather, Ezra Johnson Travis, ran stagecoach lines across the old west after the Civil War and his uncle, Elgin Travis, who took them over from his father, eventually converted the stagecoach routes into bus lines, which became Greyhound Bus Line. As a teenager he was in the elite when he traveled by commercial aircraft from Miami, Florida, to Havana, Cuba, in 1921. And then to Egypt when Tutankhamun's tomb was opened in 1923.
