The Wright Brothers, Bill Boeing & Donald Douglas
They Put America in The Air
Four American aviation pioneers provided the foundation for worldwide commercial aviation. They went from transporting one person in an aircraft to hundreds in an aircraft. They went from flights of 20 feet to flights of thousands of miles. They went from sitting in the open air, barely off the ground, to sitting in pressurized cabins thousands of feet in the air.
Learn about the contributions of each of these pioneers as they developed the ability to transport passengers through the air. If not for them, we would still be crossing countries and oceans by train or ship. Hear their stories of bravery, dedication and innovation. Find out some fascinating but little known facts about the progress of commercial aviation.
This one hour program with visuals is presented by Russell Doré, historical speaker. He has written presentations on the automotive pioneers such as Henry Ford, Billy Durant and Walter Chrysler and also produces interactive presentations on automotive pioneers and American presidents. He has bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees in the social sciences and has held management positions in the transportation industry, including The Boeing Co.
