Dr. Dunn is shown doing last minute adjustments on a Corporal missile at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, shortly before it is launched.
Louis Gerhardus Dunn (1908-1979) was a South African -born engineer who played a key role in the development of early American missiles and launch vehicles .
Caltech
[ edit ]
Dunn received both undergraduate and graduate degrees in aeronautical engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA . During that time the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at Caltech (GALCIT), a prestigious aeronautical engineering research facility, was led by Theodore von Kármán . By 1943 Dunn had joined the Caltech faculty and become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
JPL
[ edit ]
In 1943 and 1944, von Kármán and Frank Malina , who had been doing rocket research at GALCIT, began using Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in the names of their projects.[1] William Hayward Pickering , who had been project manager for the Corporal missile under Dunn, succeeded him as JPL director.
Ramo-Woolridge and Aerojet General
[ edit ]
After leaving JPL Dunn led the Atlas missile program at the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation , a predecessor of TRW .
In 1963 he moved to Aerojet General , and he died at his home in Mountain Ranch, CA on August 13, 1979.
