On This Day In Aviation History
On this blog, V2 Aviation will post interesting facts about dates in aviation history.
Aviation has come a long way since Leonardo da Vinci drew his Vitruvian Man around 1490, now a well-known image in Human Factors. Or what to think about the famous helicopter the "aerial screw" he drew in the late 1480s?
Historical facts from the history books of aviation, you'll find them on this page! A look back, like the background picture.
Just a short read, not more than a couple of minutes of your time.
Come back regularly to learn some interesting aviation facts!
