Together with NASA Glenn Research Center and several other cosponsors, the NASA History Office is pleased to announce a centennial of flight-related conference on November 5, 2003 in Cleveland, Ohio. This symposium will honor the Wright brothers’ invention and the contributions of scientists, engineers, daredevil pilots, bold entrepreneurs, military strategists, and creative administrators and managers who contributed to placing human flight among the most important technical achievements of the twentieth century. Three panels will address “Dreamers and Doers,” “Barnstormers and Entrepreneurs,” and “Aviation Leaders and Managers.” We welcome managers, scholars, students, journalists, and all those who are interested in aeronautics and space history to register and attend. This free symposium is open to the public, but advance registration is strongly suggested due to limited space.
