    The 1920s were a time of daring aviation firsts. Of these, the most famous is Charles Lindbergh’s crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in the airplane called the Spirit of St. Louis. This flight was the first solo non-stop crossing of the Atlantic ocean. Lindbergh took off on May 20 from Garden City, New York and landed in Paris, France on May 21, 1927. To achieve this, Ryan Airlines designed a custom plane for Lindbergh. They built the plane with durability and large fuel reserves in mind. Lindbergh scrapped anything he viewed as unnecessary weight. Because of this, the plane lacks a radio and front window. For take offs and landings, Lindbergh used a periscope for a frontal view. After barely clearing some telephone wires during takeoff from Roosevelt Airport in Long Island, New York, Lindbergh flew the 3,600 miles to Le Bourget Field in Paris.…

    During the early nineteen hundreds, the industrial revolution and technological boom was in full effect; every engineer, inventor, and large company wanted to produce the next world changing piece of technology. On December 17, 1903 when the Wright brothers made the first successful airplane, it opened up a new industry where the small manufacturers had just as much a chance to succeed as the large corporations. Companies like Boeing, Glenn Martin, Thomas Brothers, Consolidated Aircraft, Burgess, Lockheed, and several others were established and began competing to either find or create a consumer base for their product (13). With the skills learned at Glenn Martin and Consolidated Aircraft, a young man named Lawrence Bell decided to take a risk and create his own aircraft company that would be able to compete with the companies that had already found success in the newly created aircraft market. Throughout history, Bell Aircraft has successfully adapted to the changing market and succeeded in the aircraft industry not just by “reinventing the wheel” but by creating completely original aircrafts.…

    She went to an air show with her father Edwin in Long Beach, California on 28th of December, 1920. After paying ten dollars, Amelia got to fly with Frank Hawks (a famous air racer) for a just ten minutes. She was born into aviation, and desired to learn how to fly on her own. After saving $1,000, she started taking flying lessons in Curtiss JN-4 airplane from aviator Anita Snook, who was one of the first established female pilots in aviation history. Amelia’s love for flying was measured by the hard work and long walks just to get to the airfield. She consumed herself with learning how to fly, even to the point of cutting her hair short and sleeping in her leather jacket for days just to have the look of an experienced pilot. In just one year, Amelia bought her first biplane and never looked back. She called it “The Canary”, because of its yellow bright paint job. With her used airplane, Amelia set her first world record for highest female flight, an altitude of 14,000 feet on 22nd of October 1922. She became the sixteenth woman to receive a pilot’s license (#6017) through The Federation Aeronautique, at the age of twenty-five. Amelia grandmother’s trust funds ran out soon after and forced her to sell her plane. Amelia had no future of making money through aviation so she left California with her mother and traveled to Boston. She kept her interest in aviation and became an affiliate of the American Aeronautical Society’s Boston chapter. With some good fortune and after Amy Phipps Guest declined the offer, a gentleman named Captain Hilton H. Railey called Amelia in April of 1928 and asked her, “Would you like to fly the Atlantic”. She was ecstatic with the opportunity knocking at her door and said “Yes”. She took off on the 17th of June, 1928 from Trespassey Harbor, Newfoundland in an airplane know as a Fokker with pilots Wilmer Bill Stultz and Louis E. Gordon. The…
