Over a period of the years between 1901 and 1903, his younger
brother John Whitehead joined him and provided both physical and
financial assistance. Unfortunately, a falling out between them
terminated their working relationship and John moved with his
family to Eagle Bay, B.C. becoming one of the first families in
that region to homestead. Another notable assistant came in the form of Stanley Beach, son
of the editor of Scientific American and himself the aviation editor of his father's magazine, giving
both advice and financial assistance, though the level of this
assistance has never been determined. 
Over the years, Whitehead was able to keep the interest of several
young assistants who worked for no renumeration because they were
fascinated by his projects.Pruckner, Harworthy, Bert and Andy
Papp and Louis Lazay were a few of the young boys who put up with
Whitehead's eccentric but creative ways. The longest standing
assistant was Junius Harworth (pictured below). All of the assistants
contacted years after the fact claimed that they learned much
from Whitehead that helped them to obtain good employment as adults.
Junius Harworth went on to become a foreman at the Packard Company
Motor Plant. Without the help of these interested boys and their
efforts to keep up and get along with the crazed inventor, Whitehead
would never have been able to complete his historic project.

In addition to the young boys who helped to make his dream a
reality, Whitehead also had help from other influential people.
