Figures

The people behind transport: engineers, inventors, pilots, entrepreneurs and officials whose work built or reshaped a mode, a vehicle, a route or the business of moving people and goods. Belongs here: any historical or contemporary figure whose transport contribution is the reason for the entry, grouped below by the domain they are chiefly known for. Does not belong here: named vehicles, engines, routes, companies or built infrastructure themselves, each tracked as its own entity type; a figure entity links to those through facts and edges rather than absorbing them.
