EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Memorial for the Pioneer Flyers: A Historic Gathering at Wright Brothers Field in 1940 This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history, as prominent figures in the military and aviation world came together at Wright Brothers Field in Dayton, Ohio, on August 19, 1940, to pay tribute to the pioneer flyers who had trained there. From left to right, we see Major-General Henry H. Arnold, the Chief of the Army Air Corps, Orville Wright, one of the Wright Brothers who invented the world's first successful airplane, and Captain Kenneth Whiting, the General Inspector of Naval Aircraft, Eastern Division. Colonel E.A. Deeds, chairman of the Memorial Commission, stands behind Orville Wright. The occasion was the dedication of a memorial to honor the pioneer flyers who had trained at Wright Brothers Field, which had played a crucial role in the development of military aviation. The field, which opened in 1910, had been the site of the U.S. Army's first flying school and had produced many of the country's earliest military pilots. The gathering of these esteemed figures underscores the importance of the Wright Brothers' invention and the role that Wright Brothers Field played in shaping the future of military aviation. The image is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of the pioneers who helped pave the way for the technological marvels of modern aviation.
