Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe
Henry Deutsch de la Meurthe was well known in the early aero world as a financier, offering prizes such as the Deutsch prize for a dirigible round trip and the Deutsch-Archdeacon prize for a successful airplane flight; and underwriting the Institut aérotechnique for aerodynamics research. He was a founding member of the Automobile Club de France and of the Aéro-Club de France.[1]
Deutsch was born into a merchant family and, with Rothschild financing, went with his brothers into the petroleum business. Their company, which had the title Les Fils de A. Deutsch, by 1902 handled 16% of France's crude oil imports.[2]
In 1907, he offered his personal airship, Ville de Paris, to the French government, following the loss of Le Patrie.[2][3]
Incidentally, La Villette (Seine), on French Wikipedia, associates him with that commune, for one thing, which has been, though its own commune, annexed into Paris since 1859. It is nevertheless treated in isolation within much data, as it has been presented to us. Said article identifies de le Meurthe as an "industriel et mécène".
