Letcure: "History of Aviation in Willow Grove"
Willow Grove Tri-Centennial Event
"The Aviation History of Willow Grove" will cover the history of the original Pitcairn Field [previous to WGARS] and Harold Pitcairn's enormous (and uncredited) contributions to Controlled Rotary Flight in Autogiros and Helicopters. Then I'll discuss the Military Aviation history of Willow Grove Air Reserve Station (WGARS) and the aircraft and units that flew out of there. Finally I will finish with our museum's efforts to preserve the Pitcairn Field history, become an educational center for Interactive Aviation Technology and become the Leading Aviation Museum in the Tri-State area within a 10 years period.
