Context: Chanute Peak ( ) is a peak in Korten Ridge on the east side of Lanchester Bay, 4 nmi south of Wennersgaard Point, Davis Coast in Graham Land.  It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Octave Chanute, an American designer of gliders who first introduced moveable planes for the purpose of control and stability in 1896–97. Chanute is a city in Neosho County, Kansas, United States.  Founded on January 1, 1873, it was named after railroad engineer and aviation pioneer Octave Chanute.  As of the 2010 census, the city population was 9,119.  Chanute is home of Neosho County Community College. Octave Chanute (February 18, 1832, Paris – November 23, 1910, Chicago, Illinois) was an American civil engineer and aviation pioneer, born in France.  He provided many budding enthusiasts, including the Wright brothers, with help and advice, and helped to publicize their flying experiments.  At his death he was hailed as the father of aviation and the heavier-than-air flying machine. The pioneer era of aviation refers to the period of aviation history between the first successful powered flight, generally accepted to have been made by the Wright Brothers on 17 December 1903, and the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914. The Wright Brothers is a 2015 non-fiction book written by the popular historian David McCullough and published by Simon & Schuster.  It is a history of the American inventors and aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright.  The book was on "The New York Times" Non-Fiction Best Sellers list for seven weeks in 2015. Gerald Shea "Jerry" Sharkey (April 18, 1942 – April 7, 2014) was an American historic preservationist and historian of the Wright brothers, who conceived the idea for the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio.  The Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, which preserves historic sites used by the Wright Brothers throughout Dayton, was established in 1992.  Sharkey had led an alliance of the Wright family, members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the local media and U.S. Federal Judge Walter H. Rice to create the national historical park.  Many of the sites associated with the Wight brothers (as well as the surrounding buildings) would likely have been demolished if not for the preservation efforts spearheaded by Sharkey.  According to Tom Crouch, a senior curator of aeronautics at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., Sharkey's efforts helped to "ensure that what the Wright brothers achieved wouldn’t be forgotten."  Despite his enthusiasm for the Wrights brothers and their work, Sharkey was reportedly afraid of flying. The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two American brothers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who are generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane.  They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.  In 1904–05 the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft.  Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible. The Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award is an honor presented by the United States Federal Aviation Administration in honor of Charles Taylor, the first aviation mechanic in powered flight.  The award recognizes the lifetime accomplishments of senior aviation mechanics.  Taylor served as the Wright brothers' mechanic and is credited with designing and building the engine for their first successful aircraft. Philip Orin Parmelee (8 March 1887 – 1 June 1912) was an American aviation pioneer trained by the Wright brothers and credited with several early world aviation records and "firsts" in flight.  He turned a keen interest in small engines into employment with the Wright Company in its early years and was one of several young pilots hired by the Wright brothers to demonstrate and publicize the capabilities of their airplanes.  Because of his youth, blond good looks, and daring reputation, Parmelee had the nickname "Skyman" attributed to him. The Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum, the largest aviation museum in Illinois, occupied part of the grounds of the decommissioned Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois.  It and the base were named for Octave Chanute, railroad engineer and aviation pioneer.  The museum was dedicated to the life and works of Chanute, the former air base, the history of aviation in the state of Illinois, and hosted an annual air show.
