National Aviation Week commemorates the achievements that have taken humankind into the great blue yonder! Always occurring during the week of August 19, the date coincides with National Aviation Day proclaimed by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939, which celebrates the birthday of Orville Wright of the Wright Brothers. Orville Wright made the first flight for 12 seconds and 120 feet around the site of Wright Brothers National Memorial, just south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903. Check out these resources:
