Who invented the business jet?

Bill Lear created the first business jet, which was named after himself. **Bill Lear didn't create the first business jet, as that honor goes to now defunct North American Aviation (which produced many historic aircraft including the P-51 Mustang and the first American jet fighter, the F-86 Sabre.) NAA's business jet debut, the Sabreliner, flew in 1958, five years before Bill's Lear 23. Learjet became a much more successful business jet company than NAA, however, and its line of jets like the Lear 23 and the Lear 24 evolved from an early Swiss jet fighter, and thus they earned the reputation as being the sleekest and fastest business jets of their time.
