The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ presents:
|
 Recent history has impacted – and been impacted by – a variety of advances
in aviation. In a little more than one hundred years, our country and our
world have witnessed great strides in the technologies embodied in various
aircraft. We have all been affected by these advances in all sorts of different
ways.
Not surprisingly, the innovations found in the last one hundred years of
aircraft development have given birth to major changes in our global circumstances.
At the same time, many of those epochal innovations were themselves the
result of the political, economic, and cultural changes of the time.
 Dr. John Russell will offer a fascinating perspective on the factors that led to the development
of some well known…and not so well known…aircraft. In a similar vein, he
will offer an insider’s observations about the technical and non-technical
consequences that resulted from them.
 Dr. Russell is the President of McMurry University. He is a career officer of thirty-three years in the United States Air Force and an aerospace engineer by disciplinary training. |

Our ongoing Chautauqua Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua movement
which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th and early
20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment for
average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television.
The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the
spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic
Village.
The Grady McWhiney Research Foundation would like to say Thank You to our
honored suporters for helping us make the Chautauqua experience available
to our community: The Dian Graves Owen Foundation, Judd White ~ CBS Insurance
LLP, and Red Steagall. |
