Event Description:
Join Hermosa Beach Museum Board Member Mark Shoemaker for a discussion of California’s aviation industry from the early twentieth century to today’s largest aerospace companies!
In the early twentieth century, the spectacle and utility of aircraft brought the nascent industry to the South Bay. As zeppelin landings, air races of the 1920s, and Hollywood flair built public excitement around air travel, the beginnings of the largest and most densely-concentrated aerospace industry in the world took shape in Southern California.
To hear about the key players, events, and stories of aviation’s inception, join us for what is sure to be a memorable Happy Hour with History at the Hermosa Beach Museum!
