in 1910, Canadian aviator John A.D. McCurdy made the first-ever wireless transmission from an airplane in Brooklyn, NY.

Flying 500 feet above Barren Island, McCurdy sent a Morse code message using a 50-foot antenna to Harry Horton at the Sheepshead Bay Race Track.

This historic moment paved the way for modern air-to-ground communication!

in 1949, the US Navy ⚓ awards the R-4360-53 Wasp Major contract to Pratt & Whitney.

in 1937, American aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Frederick Noonan disappeared in a Lockheed Model 10-E Electra near Howland Island in the Pacific. 🗾

in 1948, the United States started the Berlin Airlift. This was necessitated by the Soviet Union, which restricted supplies entering East Germany via a blockade. The Soviets held the eastern sector of Berlin while holding the west.

According to History.com, the airlift—called die Luftbrucke or “the air bridge” in German—continued until September 1949 and cost over $224 million.

The Berlin Wall, built in 1961, divided East and West Berlin. Its destruction in 1989 presaged the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union and marked the end of an era and the reemergence of Berlin as the capital of a new, unified German nation.
