Earle Lewis Ovington (December 20, 1879 – July 21, 1936) was an American aeronautical engineer, aviator and inventor, and served as a lab assistant to Thomas Edison. Ovington piloted the first official airmail flight in the United States in a Blériot XI on September 23, 1911. [ 1 ]
Early Birds of Aviation is an organization that tracks people who solo piloted an aircraft before 1916. That year was chosen as the cutoff, because after 1916 the US Army started training large numbers of flyers for World War I. The organization was founded in 1928 and dissolved when the last living Early Bird aviator died.
Archaeologists found ancient bird footprints that are 60 million years too early. They could rewrite the history of evolution. ... “Fossil tracks of early birds and theropods, the co-existing ...
Being an early bird is even linked to having a longer life. A Chronobiology International study published earlier this year followed nearly 24,000 twins from 1981 to 2018 and asked them about ...

[3] Lincoln Beachey set a world altitude record of 11,642 feet at the meet. [4]
The WAIR hypothesis, a version of the "cursorial model" of the evolution of avian flight, in which birds' wings originated from forelimb modifications that provided downforce, enabling the proto-birds to run up extremely steep slopes such as the trunks of trees, was prompted by observation of young chukar chicks, and proposes that wings ...
