Friday, March 2, 2018
The Goat Hill Museum Store, Montgomery, Alabama (located inside the Alabama State Capitol at the Union Street entrance)
You are invited to the Easter Basket Extravaganza at Goat Hill Museum Store (located inside the Alabama State Capitol at the Union Street Entrance) on Friday, March 2 from 9:00am – 2:00pm. KS Monogramming will be at the store to help make your Easter basket extra special!
The Goat Hill Museum Store will also host a book signing with Billy Singleton, author of Alabama Aviation, from 11:00am – 2:00pm.
About this book:
From early aerial experimenters who devoted their lives to the development of a heavier-than-air flying machine to the massive expansion of military flight training during the Second World War, the story of aviation in Alabama represents a remarkable historical legacy. In March 1910, Orville and Wilbur Wright established the nation's first civilian flying school on the grounds of what would become Maxwell Air Force Base, the center for military aerospace education and airpower doctrine. The establishment of the Wright brothers' flying school represents the first of a series of extraordinary events that propelled Alabama to the forefront of the evolution of aviation as the foundation of Pres. Franklin Roosevelt's “arsenal of democracy” during the Second World War.
