Harold M. Bixby (1890-1965) was a business developer who helped sponsor and organize Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" flight from New York to Paris in 1927. In the 1930's he was key in setting up Pan Am air routes in China through the China National Aviation Corp. and helped pioneer China's first trans-atlantic flight aboard the China Clipper in 1935. He later served as the vice president of Pan Am until his retirement in 1955.
