North American NAA
Clement Melville Keys founded North American on December 6, 1928, as a holding company that bought and sold interests in various airlines and aviation-related companies. However, the Air Mail Act of 1934 forced the breakup of such holding companies. North American became a manufacturing company, run by James H. "Dutch" Kindelberger, who had been recruited from Douglas Aircraft Company. NAA did retain ownership of Eastern Air Lines until 1938. General Motors Corporation took a controlling interest in NAA and merged it with the General Aviation Manufacturing Corporation in 1933, but retained the name North American Aviation.
