Furlonge Harold Flynn (December 27, 1901 – November 1, 1977) was an American football player and aviation pioneer.

[4] A journalist for The Ithaca Journal wrote of him: "Flynn of Cornell I like especially in his big game because it was always possible for the backs to feel that they had a first down over him, and also because he could break out and support either side of the line on defense.

[8] A report in the Hartford Courant said the following: "Flynn, who has just joined the squad permanently, looks like the proper mate for [Ernie] McCann at the tackle post, although he will have to fight off the advances of none other than the former Notre Dame lineman and professional pugilist, and present day movie actor, Ed[sic] (Heck) Garvey of Holyoke, Mass.

Flynn is a Cornell man, having played in the line that opened the way for the great runs of Eddie Kaw and George Pfann in days gone by.

"[8] The regular season for Hartford began on September 26, as they faced the New York Giants in their first-ever game of NFL play.

[9] On the first play of the game, Giants guard Doc Alexander fumbled and Hartford recovered at the 30-yard line.

[9] It was the only high point for the Blues, as they failed a field goal attempt on their ensuing drive and finished the game without a single first down, as New York won 21–0.

[10] At practices held in the week following the Giants game, Hartford had Flynn play as the starting left guard.

[9] Flynn remained in his starting left guard position and "performed well in the line throughout, playing most of the game.

[9] The amount of mud made the yard lines impossible to see and the players "quickly became anonymous" in dirty jerseys.

[9] The Bulldogs bus left late and were caught in a traffic jam, only arriving at 3:00 p.m.[9] 4,000 fans waited impatiently at the East Hartford Velodrome.

[9] Due to the late start, the inadequate lights at the stadium (which only effected the track around the playing field) had to be turned on in the fourth quarter.

[9] Flynn appeared as a substitute for Dally in the match, and made an important block on a Chuck Corgan touchdown as Hartford won 10–2.

[15] An article in the Hartford Courant at the end of the season wrote the following: "Two great tackles have been developed by the team in Mule Werwaiss of New Haven and Furlonge Flynn, former Cornell linesman.

[31] Flynn was later an aircraft executive and was described in a 1977 article by United Press International as having "helped pioneer aviation around the world for almost four decades.

[2] At the beginning of World War II, he supervised the installation of Pratt & Whitney engines in France for the French Air Force.

[2] When the country was overrun by the Nazis, Flynn just barely escaped capture, leaving on the last train in Paris and returning to the U. S. by boat from Genoa, Italy.
