Wiley Post the Tail Skid of the White and Purple Lockheed Vega Squealed Onto the Runway at Floyd Bennett Field, New York City
Wiley Post The tail skid of the white and purple Lockheed Vega squealed onto the runway at Floyd Bennett Field, New York City. A crowd of 50,000 people surged forward in a body. Over the fence, through police lines, and onto the field they came, cheering and waving. Mounted policemen tried vainly to keep them back. Wiley Post, farmboy from Maysville, Oklahoma, sat in the cockpit of the Winnie Mae and waited. He hoped order would be restored, but he remembered a similar scene two years before and knew the crowd would be Oklahoma satisfied only with a glimpse of the pilot. Tiredly, he opened the hatch and pulled himself up and out. The waving crowd grew more frantic and the cheering loud- Spotlight er. Wiley could hear the cheers, but dimly. For once, he was almost glad of the temporary hearing loss he suf- fered from sitting so close to the engine of his airplane for so long. For seven days he had straddled the roaring engine, long hours at a time and with only short snatches of sleep in between. He was almost totally deaf now, hearing sounds as loud as this huge crowd but little else with the use of his earphones. He knew from ex- perience that it would probably be several days before his hearing re- turned, if it ever did. Two years earlier, Wiley Post and Harold Gatty had flown around the world in the same dependable aircraft. Wiley was pilot and Gatty was navigator. Except for a three-week flight by the multi-man crew of a military plane some years earlier, no one had ever done such a thing, and certainly not in less than nine days! It was a spectacular event, but it gained little money for the adventurers and their backer, oilman F. -
Colonel Gordon Cooper, US Air Force Leroy Gordon
Colonel Gordon Cooper, U.S. Air Force Leroy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Jr. was an American aerospace engineer, U.S. Air Force pilot, test pilot, and one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the U.S. Cooper piloted the longest and final Mercury spaceflight in 1963. He was the first American to sleep in space during that 34-hour mission and was the last American to be launched alone to conduct an entirely solo orbital mission. In 1965, Cooper flew as Command Pilot of Gemini 5. Early life and education: Cooper was born on 6 March 1927 in Shawnee, OK to Leroy Gordon Cooper Sr. (Colonel, USAF, Ret.) and Hattie Lee Cooper. He was active in the Boy Scouts where he achieved its second highest rank, Life Scout. Cooper attended Jefferson Elementary School and Shawnee High School and was involved in football and track. He moved to Murray, KY about two months before graduating with his class in 1945 when his father, Leroy Cooper Sr., a World War I veteran, was called back into service. He graduated from Murray High School in 1945. Cooper married his first wife Trudy B. Olson (1927– 1994) in 1947. She was a Seattle native and flight instructor where he was training. Together, they had two daughters: Camala and Janita Lee. The couple divorced in 1971. Cooper married Suzan Taylor in 1972. Together, they had two daughters: Elizabeth and Colleen. The couple remained married until his death in 2004. After he learned that the Army and Navy flying schools were not taking any candidates the year he graduated from high school, he decided to enlist in the Marine Corps. -
The Reims Air Races
Reims Air races and the Gordon Bennett Trophy Bleriot's cross-Channel flight excited Europe as nothing else had. The City of Reims and the French vintners of the Champagne region decided to sponsor a week of aviation exhibition and competition, putting up large purses in prize money, the most prestigious being the International Aviation Cup, known as the Gordon Bennett Trophy, after its sponsor, James Gordon Bennett, the flamboyant American publisher of the New York Herald and the Paris Herald. The meet attracted the cream of European society, from royalty and generals to ambassadors and the merely wealthy, to the Betheny Plain outside Reims from August 22 to 29, 1909. While there were to be many other such meets before and after World War 1, none would match Reims for grandeur and elegance or for sheer excitement. The major European manufacturers, all French, entered various events. There were 'planes by Bleriot, Voisin, Antoinette, and Farman, and even several French-built Wrights. The Wrights themselves had passed on an invitation to race at Reims, which was awkward since the Gordon Bennett Trophy was crowned with a large replica of a Wright Flyer. The Aero Club of America, which had sponsored the Scientific American trophy won by Curtiss a year earlier, turned to Curtiss. Curtiss' June Bug was not as well developed a plane as the Wright machines (and possibly the Wrights were hoping to drive this point home if Curtiss failed at Reims) and while it was more maneuverable than the European planes, it was not nearly as fast. 1909 Voisin 1 Curtiss worked feverishly to produce a more powerful engine and stripped down his airplane to give it greater speed. -

Pictured above are Will Rogers and Wiley Post while they check their Lockheed plane at the Renton airport prior to departing for Alaska in August 1935. A week later, shocking news came that the two died when their plane crashed in Alaska. Second greatest American flyer next to Charles Lindbergh Who are Will Rogers and Wiley Post? Many considered Wiley Post to be the second greatest American flyer next to Charles A. Lindbergh. He was born in 1899, near Grand Plains, Texas, and grew up in Oklahoma. Post and an Australian, Harold Gatty, went around the world in 1931. Post wore a distinctive patch over his left eye after he lost it in an oilrig accident. Two years later, Post made a solo fight around the world, becoming the first man to circumnavigate the earth twice in an aircraft. Post completed his first solo world flight in seven days, 18 hours and 49.5 minutes. Post retired the Winnie Mae, the plane used in his around-the- world flight, and purchased a new hybrid aircraft assembled from parts of two previously damaged ships. Most popular actor in Hollywood Will Rogers was born on November 4, 1879, in Indiana Territory, an area of land that later would become known as Oklahoma. As film star making over 70 movies, Rogers became famous through his syndicated column, which reached millions of his readers. -
