Well, it convinced a prominent lawyer and aerospace financier named Floyd Odlem to invest $4,000 in Brown's Santa Monica-based company Guidance Technologies.
When Odlem made his investment in Brown in the 60s, he was a majority owner of Northrop before its merger with Grumman.
Just three months later, Floyd Odlem's Northrop writes a paper saying that they are investing in electro-aerodynamics.
And the B-2 was built by the merged Northrop Grumman, whose major investor Floyd Odlem was the same guy that invested in Townsend Brown's company Guidance Technologies in the 60s.
