Before and after the events of that momentous day in North Carolina, the Wright Brothers lived and worked on the development of the airplane in Dayton, OH. Ron Johnson's article relates this lesser-known part of the Wright Brothers' story. Wilbur and Orville Wright built the world's first successful airplane in Dayton, making that city the birthplace of aviation. A visitor to Dayton today can walk or bike an aviation trail and see the Wright Brothers Cycle Shop, Hawthorn Hill—the home of Orville Wright, Carillon Park—the home of the Wright Flyer III Machine, and the Huffman Prairie—the site of the world's first flying field. The Huffman Flying field eventually evolved to become the site of Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, now the largest air force base in the United States and the site of the finest aviation museum in the country. In the years after the development of the airplane by the Wright Brothers, American aviation fell into a period of decline. The article by Harry Butowsky on the devel­ opment of the Variable Density Wind Tunnel at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA, illustrates this process of decline was arrested.

In 1926, Commander Byrd and co-pilot Floyd Bennett flew National Memorial: over the North Pole in their three-engine monoplane the "Josephine Ford"; and 1927 was the year of Charles A Short History Lindbergh's famous solo flight across the Atlantic, an event that won Lindbergh the coveted Orteig Prize and William Chapman captured the imagination of the world. The next year Cathleen Turner Amelia Earhart and pilots Stultz and Gordon repeated Lindbergh's feat in their monoplane "Friendship" (Gibbs-Smith 1970). he Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Airflight was exciting, romantic and appealed to the Hawk, NC is something of an anomaly among combined American affinity for adventure and ingenu­ historic sites.

It was time, as the Smithsonian Institution's own and Wilbur Wright's successful glider experi­ acquisitions programs demonstrated, for the seminal ments of the early 1900s and also of the first event in flight history to be marked (Crouch 1978; Oehser Tpowered flight of December 7,1903—the 120-foot culmi­ 1970; Boyne 1987). nation of many years of study and experiment—the Kitty Hawk site itself possesses nothing in terms of historic buildings or features directly associated with the Wright Brothers early experiments. During the period when the Wright Brothers lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the only distinguishable natural landmark was a large sand dune, known locally as Kill Devil Hill. Orville and Wilbur, who had been attracted to the area by reports from a correspondent in the local U.S. Weather Bureau station on the favorable wind conditions along the North Carolina coast, had added a simple frame "quarters" and a frame hangar for their use while in residence (Combs and Caidin 1979a and 1979b). Both buildings were of board-and-batten construction and did not survive the brothers departure for Dayton, OH (after seasonal use of the Kitty Hawk "camp") to begin what was to become their successful business careers promot­ ing the airplane they had invented (Howard 1988). In the years following the initial experiments, the "quar­ ters" and hangar collapsed and the Kill Devil Hill, which had provided the necessary incline for the track- launched experimental gliders and motor-powered air­ plane, drifted several hundred feet to the southwest. There was little thought given to memorializing the Wright Brothers achievement, which throughout the 1910s and early 1920s was still shrouded in controversy and patent litigation (see Bilstein 1983; Anderson 1985; Kelly 1944). The Kitty Hawk site was threatened by potential future development, as the Outer Banks was opened up to automobile traffic, and vacation homes became more popular in the area (Stick 1958: 245-46).

Where: The McGowan’s Hanger at 6:00 PM March 2nd 2013 rigadier General Robert L. “Bob” Cardenas was born in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico on March 10th, 1920, and moved to San Diego with his parents at the age of five. During his teenage years, Cardenas built model B airplanes and helped local glider pilots with their dope-and-fabric construction, often bumming rides with the pilots in the gliders he helped to repair. A bright student with excellent grades in Mathematics and Physics at high school, Cardenas was selected to attend the San Diego State University. During 1939 Cardenas began a long and distinguished military career when he joined the California National Guard. In September of 1940, Cardenas entered into aviation cadet training, graduated and received his pilot wings & commission as a second lieutenant during July of 1941. Cardenas was sent to Kelly Field, Texas to become a flight instructor, then onto Twentynine Palms, California to establish the U.S. Army Air Force’s glider training school and followed this by becoming a Flight Test Officer and then Director of Flight Test Unit, Experimental Engineering Laboratory, Wright Field Ohio. Cardenas’ next assignment was to the 44th Bomb Group and arrived in England on January 4th, 1944. Based at Shipdam, Norfolk, Cardenas flew his first mission on January 21st in B-24H “Southern Comfort”. On March 18th, 1944 (on his twentieth mission) while flying as command pilot aboard B-24J “Sack Artists” the aircraft in which Cardenas was flying was badly damaged by anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters.

  • From the President's Desk
    The Newsletter Summer 2016 Volume 47 For Those Who Designed, Built, Flew, Maintained and Loved the B-47 This is one of the most unusually marked Stra- tojets we have seen. This is not a very sharp photo but it is the only shot we have ever seen of this bird. Does anyone recall having seen it at Wichita? It is TB-47B 51-2053 and we cannot find the aircraft record for it. Photo: Boeing Historical Archive From The President’s Desk As a young college student, I majored in history primarily because it was the most fascinating thing I could think of studying. The more I learned of history, the more I realized how important it was that we study history and do our best to learn some of the lessons it can teach us. Now, what’s this got to do with the B-47 and our association? Well, for one thing, our association’s purpose is “to preserve the heritage of the B-47.” We would like people to know the lessons of history we learned as we manned the frontlines of the Cold War. Lessons such as “deterrence did work” and by remaining strong and professional, we pre- cluded the nuclear catastrophe that faced our world back then should never be forgotten. As an association, we do all we can to achieve that end. We support museums displaying the B-47 and we encourage anything that will re-enforce the effect of that heritage. There is something else that we should all consider as individuals wanting to contribute to this goal.

The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encourage- ment of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a non-profit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program. The Foundation is a GuideStar Exchange member. The Scholarship Program recognizes scholars who indicate a desire to become military pilots and pursue a career in the military. Other scholarships are presented to younger individuals interested in aviation but not enrolled in college.
