Stout vs Ford?
This page states that: "The idea of a ‘People's Plane’ was put forward to Henry Ford by William Bushnell Stout, who immediately became enthusiastic about it."

However, on the Wikipedia page for the Ford Flivver, Ford's attempt to build a mass-market single-seater aeroplane, it states: "... the Ford Flivver was designed to be a mass-produced "everyman's" aircraft. The idea was first proposed to William Bushnell Stout, manager of Ford's acquired aircraft division in 1926. Both Stout and William Benson Mayo, head of Ford's Aircraft Division wanted nothing to do with the aircraft and it was built in a nearby museum building in the Ford Laboratories.

Which is right?

 * Yes, it was confusing. The German document says that Ford became enthusiastic about it, not William Bushnell Stout. The "who" refers to Henry Ford.Ford Flivver
