Public Influence on the Proliferation of Military Aviation 1907--1912 (2013)

unapi

The article discusses the ways in which private citizens and organizations, in light of a lack of government funding and support, aided in the development of military aviation in the U.S. and Europe in the early 20th century. The author begins by explaining the work of U.S. aviation pioneers Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright and their interactions with the U.S. and European governments following their first flights, along with the impact of the 1909 cross-English Channel flight of French aviator Louis Bleriot. He traces this work to increased military aircraft acquisitions by the U.S. Army, French War Ministry, and British, German, and Russian governments. Public enthusiasm for aviation is detailed along with the establishment of aeronautical organizations.
