After returning home from war service as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Robertson formed the Robertson Aircraft Corporation with his brother William. The company established the first air mail & passenger line between St. Louis & Chicago. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was employed by the Robertsons to fly the mail on the St. Louis-Chicago route. Robertson was one of the backers of Charles Lindbergh on his historic trans-Atlantic flight in 1927.
