Aviation's History Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

- * AVIATION'S HISTORY* -

In the early nineteen hundreds
On a North Carolina shore
A young Orville and brother Wilbur
Opened Aviations door.

They stirred up great emotions
All around that little town
Evoking TransAtlantic flight
Of John Alcock and Arthur Brown.

Preceding Amelia Earhart
Mr. Boeing and Lockheed
Before Our Charles Lindburgh
And Aviations new Jet speed.

We'll remember the barnstormers
Of a forgotten time of lore
At a time when the US Air Force
Was the US Flying Corps.

But now we glide above the clouds
In comfort and light speed,
Today's Aviation research
Providing for our every need.

So now you know this story,
Aviation is it's name.
In Peace and war, It's our lifestyle
And we'll never be the same.
