Black History Month: Day 17| John B. Christian

I can't find a picture of the brother or any other personal information to save my life :(  If you know a place where I can, let me know and I'll update it. 

In 1970, Working as an Air Force, Materials Research, Engineer, John B. Christian invented and patented new lubricants to be used in high flying aircrafts & NASA Space Missions.  Most were used in helicopter fuel lines, astronaut’s back-pack life support systems, and in the four wheel drive of the “Moon Buggy”.  He went on to patent four total between 1970- 1984.
