National Aviation Week is meant to remember and honor the achievements made in the field of aviation while encouraging further advancements. It is celebrated annually during the week of August 19th, which is National Aviation Day (Orville Wright‘s birthday).
Remember, today isn’t just for the pilots (such as Bessie Coleman, who is credited for perfecting life-saving maneuvers into aero-stunts). It’s for ALL who made flight possible. That includes mechanics (like Charles E. Taylor), inventors (Like Phoebe Omlie, who created the standard for flight schools and civil aviation procedures amongst numerous other successes), engineers (like Jerrie Mock), mathematicians, and more!
