Register HereMr. Lincoln’s Air Force
James Green
A look into the history of the United States Air Force usually traces its origins to the Aviation Section of the Army Signal Corps created by Congress in 1914. But what about Mr. Lincoln’s Air Force? Over half a century earlier Professor Thaddeus Lowe was appointed Chief Aeronaut of the Union Army Balloon Corps, which flew over 3,000 missions in support of the Union Army. Sounds like an Air Force to me!
Please join us this month when Dr. Jim Green, NASA Chief Scientist, shares his true passion with us, Civil War ballooning, and learn of the challenges and accomplishments of Professor Lowe and his fellow aeronauts.
