# Early Birds of Aviation

A Early Birds of Aviation é uma organização devotada à história dos primeiros pilotos. Ela iniciou suas atividades em 1928, e aceitou como membros um total de 598 pioneiros da aviação (mais os irmãos Wright, que foram admitidos como membros honorários).
Os membros estão limitados àqueles que pilotaram uma aeronave (planador, balão ou avião), antes de 17 de dezembro de 1916. A data de corte de 17 de dezembro foi definida para corresponder ao primeiro voo dos irmãos Wright. O ano de 1916 foi escolhido devido ao grande número de pessoas que foram treinadas como pilotos em 1917 para a Primeira Guerra Mundial.
A organização original foi desarticulada quando o último de seus membros vivos faleceu. Isso ocorreu com a morte aos 99 anos de George Debaun Grundy, Jr. em 19 de maio de 1998. A organização atual se dedica a colher dados e publicar biografias daqueles que satisfazem a linha de corte de 1916. Existem muitos pilotos que voaram solo antes disso que nunca solicitaram se tornar membros. Alguns deles foram admitidos como "membros honorários".
