The Connecticut Air and Space Center was founded by George Gunther in 1998 after the closing of the Stratford Army Engine Plant, in Stratford, Connecticut.
Gunther was also instrumental in the state legislature's designation of Igor Sikorsky as a Connecticut Aviation Pioneer, and sponsored a bill supporting Gustav Whitehead's claim to having achieved controlled powered heavier-than-air flight in Bridgeport, two years before the Wright brothers' Kitty Hawk flight.
