Boats just weren’t enough to keep Donald Douglas’s interest. In 1912, he left the Naval Academy before graduating to look for a job in aeronautical engineering. Eight years later, he founded Douglas Aircraft Company, eventually helping save Europe from fascism with the Douglas C-47 Skytrain military transporter.

Douglas is a part of Boeing now, but you can still show the company some love with this officially licensed T-shirt made by the Aeroplane Apparel Company that celebrates Douglas’s So-Cal roots.
