Jesse G. Vincent
Jesse G. Vincent was an aero inventor.
Jesse Gurney Vincent was an American automobile and aircraft engine designer. He was the chief engineer the Packard Motor Car Company from 1912-1946. "During World War I, he was commissioned as a major in the U.S. Army Signal Corps as one of the key people with the development of the Liberty aircraft engine."[1]
Vincent had huge numbers of adding machines patents, mostly associated with the Burroughs company, then a huge wave of automobile patents while associated with Packard.
Inventor Vincent had huge numbers of adding-machine and automobile patents (list of Vincent's patents at google patents). (The rate of submitting these in the first years seems frantic or pathological or opportunistic, offhand, but maybe they are all real and grounded.) He seems to have only one aero patent in our period, but he was known for quickly co-designing the Liberty L-12 aeroplane engine circa 1917; it's not clear at this point whether any patents are closely tied to that development
example - R&D not patented in WWI?
