    AUTHORS TO SHARE HOW 100 YEARS OF AVIATION HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD

    A lot has changed in the almost hundred years since the Wright Brothers made the first
    powered flight on December 17, 1903 near Kitty Hawk, N.C.

    Three noted aviation authors who have documented how flight has revolutionized our world
    will share their perspectives in a special appearance at 2 p.m., Tuesday, March 4, in NASA
    Langley's H.J.E. Reid Conference Center. Their presentation, called “Crafting the Dream of
    Wings on the Wind: 100 years from Aviation to Spaceflight," is part of NASA Langley's year-
    long celebration of the Centennial of Flight.

    Media Briefing: A media briefing will be held at 1:15 p.m. at the H.J.E. Reid
    Conference Center, 14 Langley Blvd., at NASA Langley Research Center. Members
    of the media who wish to attend should contact Kathy Barnstorff at (757) 864-9886
    or 344-8511 (mobile) for credentials.

    Dr. Tom Crouch, Dr. James Hansen and James Schultz have all studied aviation technology
    and its impact not only on society and the economy, but also on how we think and dream.

    Crouch is senior curator at the National Air and Space Museum and chairs the First Flight
    Centennial Advisory Board. He has won a number of major writing awards, including a
    literary prize for "The Bishop's Boys: A Life of Wilbur and Orville Wright." Hansen is a
    professor of history at Auburn University. Among the books he has written is a six-volume
    set on the history of aerodynamics as well as "Engineer in Charge," an early history of
    NASA Langley. Schultz, former Virginian-Pilot science and technology reporter, is a full-time
    author who recently completed “Crafting Flight,” a history of NASA Langley, as well as other
    books on technology.
