Abstract:

Military aviation is a major industry in North Carolina, pumping $4 billion into the economy. With all service branches maintaining bases in the state, aviation employs thousands of civilians in support of its 25,000 men and women in uniform. Martin discusses the evolution of military flight in North Carolina, which began six years after the Wright Brothers' historic flight.
