| Abstract |
Popular but detailed history of flight testing in the Miami River Valley near Dayton, OH, particularly at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (named in honor of the Wright brothers, and Lt. Frank Stuart Patterson who was killed in a test flight in 1918), from the Wright brothers first test flights at Huffman Prairie in 1904 to the transfer of the 4950th Test Wing from Wright-Patterson AFB to the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at Edwards Air Force Base in California in 1994. Includes a few brief but pertinent references to the Wright brothers, numerous photographs, a chronology, and an extensive index. |
