Heinrich Lübbe
Heinrich Lübbe (12 January, 1884–14 March, 1940) was a German engineer working for Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker during the First World War, invented the interrupter gear which enabled a machine gun to fire through the arc of a fighter aircraft's propeller without the bullets striking the blades.
In 1921 Lübbe purchased the bankrupt Friedrichshafen naval yards which had manufactured aircraft during the war. In 1925 he renamed the company Arado but his refusal to join the Nazi Party in 1936 led to his removal when Arado was nationalized.
