Bernice, the 38/4.5 Biogons Goerz made under license were badged Biogon and Aerogor. The 3"/4.5 Biogon Goerz made under license was badged Biogon and Aerogor. Goerz made other lenses for USAF, including the 6"/2.3 Supergor (covers 4.5" x 4.5"), 6"/6.3 Metrogon (covers 9" x 9"), and 6"/6.3 Planigon (covers 9" x 9"). This from my USAF data sheets, which are online at http://archive.org/details/USAF_lens_datasheets.
Hycon was a military contractor, made, among other things, aerial cameras, bought lenses from Goerz American and other makers.
I'm not sure whether any of the lenses Goerz made for aerial cameras were original Goerz designs. USAF bought the rights to designs, put contracts to make them up for bid. Hence Biogons from Zeiss, Goerz and Viewlex and Metrogons and Planigons from any number of makers.
The 3"/6 Goerz Rectagon (surely Goerz' own, see the 1951 Goerz catalog on cameraeccentric.com) isn't mentioned in my USAF data sheets, but that proves nothing.
