In 1922, the Chance Vought Corporation was incorporated as the successor to the 1917 corporation. Chance’s father, George W. Vought, took the position of President to allow Chance to concentrate his effort on aircraft design and construction as Chief Engineer. Chance also made frequent trips to Washington, D.C. to secure new business for the company. He was also active in many professional organizations.
The 1990 poster commemorates 62 years of association between Boeing and Vought (William Boeing left, Chance Vought right).
