Aviation Visionaries And Trailblazers To Remember
History books are filled with remarkable men and woman who changed aviation forever and the
course of its history with their deeds, achievements, and innovation. Of the numerous unforgettable
names in this field, here are some who are worth remembering and honoring today.
The Wright Brothers
Orville and Wilbur were American brothers and aviation pioneers who created the first successful
airplane in the world. Theirs was the first powered, sustained, and controlled plane flight in 1903,
and even surpassed their own achievement two years later by flying the first completely practical
airplane.
Charles Lindbergh
He is the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean on his own, navigating from New York to Paris in May
1927 in a specialized monoplane. He was also credited for shooting down a Japanese aircraft in July
1944, after the Pearl Harbor attack in World War II.
Amelia Earhart
Who would forget Lady Lindy, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 19332 and also the
first to fly without stop from Honolulu to Oakland in 1935? She, however, became a legend through
her final flight, where she disappeared over the Pacific and was never found again.
Steve Fossett
He set many world records, including five non-stop circumnavigations of Earth and being the first to
complete one in a helium-filled balloon. He also made the first circumnavigation of the globe in a
plane without refueling back in 2005.
Jimmy Doolittle
This innovator and speed plane racer is known for his daring raid on Tokyo in 1942, leading 16 army
bombers off the rolling deck of an aircraft carrier on a one-way mission to Japan.
