Taking flight with the Aviation ~ The story of aviation’s rise begins with the Wright Brother’s groundbreaking first flight in 1903, a moment that opened the skies to human exploration. By the 1930’s, aviation Pioneers were pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the air. This decade saw iconic achievements such as Amelia Earhart’s solo transatlantic flight in 1932, making her the first woman to accomplish this daring feat, and Charles Lindbergh’s earlier 1927 solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic inspiring a generation. Aviation technology advanced rapidly, with planes becoming faster, more reliable, and capable of long-distance travel.
