Squadron Meeting: 25 Apr 2013 - First Flights: Part II - Icarus to The Wrights


2LT Linda Abrams, AEO, Sq 150 will present the second of a two part presentation on First Flights. The first presentation met with rave reviews and was described by several members as one of the best AE presentations given at Squadron 150 in a long, long time. You do well to attend and take this in. As described by Linda:
"The inspiring, dramatic (and sometimes comical) saga of our conquest of the air, told through the eyewitness accounts of the brilliant engineers, bold adventurers, and eccentric visionaries who led the way up.

"Hear the Wright Brothers story from their own letters and diaries, plus first-person accounts of historic flights: Lindberg's first solo across the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier, first moon shot, and more.


"First-person accounts of historic flights: Lindberg's first solo across the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier, Space Ship I, and more. The uniqueness of this presentation is that it is dramatized by being told in the authentic words of those who made the flights and/or those who witnessed them."
