who were two famous aviators
Charlie Taylor The âunsung hero of aviation,â who built the engine that powered the Wrightsâ first airplane. Taylor (1868-1956) was the first aviation mechanic, the airport manager at Huffman Prairie, and the man behind construction and maintenance of the early aircraft engines.
Jeppessen (1907-1996) is famous for his development of manuals and charts that allow pilots worldwide to fly safely. In the 1930âs, Jepp realized the need for accurate navigational aids for pilots; before, pilots relied on Rand-McNally Road maps.
