Along with the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, in 1927 Robertson backed his chief Air Mail pilot, Charles Lindbergh, to compete in the Orteig Prize and funded the design and construction of his aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, for the New York-Paris flight.In 1924, Major Robertson became the first commanding officer of the Missouri National Guard Air Unit 35th Division, Aviation Section operating out of Lambert field with eight JNS (JN-4).In 1927, Robertson left Robertson Aircraft Corporation, and formed an interest with the Curtiss-Wright corporation. This created a division named Curtiss-Robertson Airplane Manufacturing Company to build the Curtiss-Robertson Robin aircraft. Robertson left the company in 1933 when it merged into Curtiss-WrightIn November 1929, the small town of Anglum, Missouri, located adjacent to Lambert field was renamed Robertson in honor of his contributions to aviation.On August 1, 1943, a WACO CG-4A military troop and cargo transport glider built under license by RAC crashed at Lambert Field in St. Louis during a demonstration flight when its right wing separated shortly after it had been released at 3,000 feet (910 m) by its Army C-47 tow plane killing all ten on board including Maj.
