Abstract

From its modest beginnings at Kitty Hawk — and even earlier, in da Vinci’s sketches — the urge to defy gravity inspired what has since become the aerospace field. And from that moment when we were able to fly, humans have sought to go higher, faster, and farther. This quest was never more manifest than during the decades after World War II, as US national defense and prestige, along with increasing demands for transporting people and goods, drove tremendous growth in the US Aerospace Enterprise — that national community of aerospace firms, US government executive agencies and departments, Congressional committees, professional organizations, universities, and labor unions.
