On the 1920's topic i had the planes and aircraft of the era. Now this era in time is right after WW1 when planes were first produced in a factory which made them cheaper and more efficient. So when they brought them back to the states people loved the idea of flying and everything about it so it became very popular in the non military community.
Back when the Wright brothers invented the first plane in North Carolina the planes' frames were mad out of wood and with WW1 when they made the whole plane out of metal. Since they were made out of metal they were much stronger, could travel at much greater speeds, and carry heaver loads. Now that they are traveling at faster speeds they could haul passengers and cargo which gave them another use in america.
Barn Storming and plane acrobatics was very popular during this time. One of the people that made this sport famous was Charles Lindbergh he was made famous by being the first person to fly across the Atlantic ocean, and for many other things. Amelia Earhart was the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She was unfortunately lost at sea and did not make it back to the united states. The planes of the 20's shaped the way that our country thinks of planes today and I think that the 20's were a very important part in the history of the United States.
