America is the birthplace of aviation. When Orville and Wilbur Wright first took flight they began a revolution that changed everything from commercial travel to mail service and aerial warfare. The early pioneers of aviation were many, but two Americans stand head and shoulders above the others, not only because of their contributions to the art and science of flight, but because of their unique talents and larger-than-life personalities, making them truly American Heroes of Aviation.

When Charles A. Lindbergh, alone in his single-engine Spirit of St. Louis, ascended into the skies over Floyd Bennett Field in 1927, he was not only making the first flight across the Atlantic to Paris, he was soaring into history. Lucky Lindy's amazing journey made him an instantly recognizable personality and arguably the most famous man in America, if not the entire world. His solo achievement was prelude to a life of accomplishment, triumph and tragedy witnessed by millions through the lens of his celebrity, which he never sought and endured stoically throughout his lifetime.

Howard Hughes, aviator, inventor, dare-devil, Hollywood movie maker and figure of controversy all of his life, relished his fame, unlike Lindbergh. Scion to a fortune made in the oil business, Hughes was never one to shy away from the spotlight, whether he was setting air speed and endurance records in planes he designed, including the world's largest plane, the Spruce Goose, or directing Jane Russell in the Hollywood western The Outlaw. his life and exploits, like Lindbergh's, were magnified by the lens of celebrity.

Although by nature almost polar op posited, these two aviation heroes flew into the imagination of Americans young and old, and their accomplishments helped to make the American aviation industry the envy of the world.
