After looking at locations in Florida, Wilbur came to Montgomery, Alabama in February 1910 and decided to open the nation’s first civilian flying school on an old cotton plantation near Montgomery that subsequently become Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB).

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.

C-130H/J F-16CM AMC 130, MQ-9, U-28A KC-135 Air wings in World War II were administrative and KC-46, KC-135 operational organizations that typically controlled multiple combat groups and service organizations. Today’s wings are smaller, dating their history to 1948, when the newly independent Air Force established permanent combat wings consisting of a combat group, an air base group, a maintenance and supply group, and a medical group. In most cases, wings’ numerical designator evolved from the combat group that preceded it. For example, today’s 14th Flying Training Wing traces its history to the 14th Fight- er Wing and, before that, the 14th Fighter Group. Each group within the wing takes on the wing’s numerical designator. Every wing has a distinct mission and scope, whether that is operational, managing an air base, or performing 3rd Wing 4th Fighter Wing 5th Bomb Wing 24th Operations Wing 27th Special Operations Wing 28th Bomb Wing 31st Fighter Wing 33rd Fighter Wing specialized missions such as intelligence or training.
