But in 1907, Papa Iakutsi relocated the entire family to avoid the coming war. That coming war wasn't World War I, but a forerunner called the Italo-Turkish War. Papa Iakutsi had seven sons in danger of being drafted into the war and six daughters to protect as well. So they arrived at Ellis Island in waves, where their name was misspelled from Yakuzy to Jacuzzi.

I mean, Jack, the same thing happened with my family at Ellis Island. We lost the O on Martello, and I kind of miss it. Can we bring that back? You got robbed. We got robbed. I can feel for these Jacuzzi boys. And Jack, by the time Rick Kelly starts his machine shop, most of his brothers have joined with him in America.

So they're manufacturing enough toothpick propellers to impress everyone from celebrity pilot Charles Lindbergh to a feisty new division of the U.S. Armed Forces known as the Air Force. When America enters World War I, Rick Kelly's toothpick propellers help win it, allowing American dogfighters to dominate the airspace. And less than 18 months later, the war is over.

Great news for society, bad news for the defense industry. No more war means no more military contracts for the Jacuzzi brothers. So the Jacuzzi brothers, they need to pivot. Pivot! Now, Nick, as far as pivots go, this first one from Jacuzzi, it's pretty logical. Okay. Rakele loves flying. And back then, anyone could fly. There was no regulation, no FAA to drag you back down to Earth. Oh.

Fantastic. It's like riding a bike. So what does Raquel do? He starts to fly. And then these Jacuzzi brothers, they decide to build their own airplane. They throw all their money into building an aircraft called the Jacuzzi J7. It's a monoplane with a fully enclosed cockpit.

Both of these were new innovations at the time because back then, most planes were biplanes with open cockpits, which meant the pilots were held in by just a seatbelt holding on for dear life. You'd be dodging geese. You'd like be picking bugs out of your teeth. And so for Kelly, he's feeling like a roof and a windshield. Yeah, that'd be a good addition to the plan.
