Navy League Convention Symposium
Salutes Naval Aviation’s 50th Ann’y
The hfavy League of the United
States commemorates naval avia
tion’s 50th anniversary with an Air
Seapower Symposium highlighting
the League’s 59th national annual
convention, May 23-27, in the na
tion’s capital.
The convention will be attended
by several members of the Kodiak
Chapter of the Alaska Council of
Navy Leagues.
This 1961 edition of the interna
tionally famous Seapower Sym
posium, series, held in Washington
each year, will review the contribu
tions of Navy and Marine airmen to
the evolution of flight since 1911.
Naval aviation became airborne on
January 18 of that year, when pilot
Eugene Ely, flying a Curtiss bi
plane, landed on and took off from
a 120-foot platform on the stern
of the USS Pennsylvania in San
Francisco Bay.
The metarmorphosis of naval
aviation from its earliest clumsy
biplanes to the sleek supersonic
aircraft of today will be depicted
in numerous military and industry
exhibits at both the Sheraton-Park
and Shoreham hotels where the
convention is being held. Historic
planes, famous for their record ac
complishments, will be displayed
on the hotel grounds alongside life
size mockups of the latest missiles
and rockets.
Navy and Marine air heroes of
days gone by will participate in the
salute to the “Golden Year of the
Golden Wings”, reliving the mo
ments when the planes they flew
added another chapter to naval
aviation.
“Seapower Symposiums were or
iginated by the (Navy League’s Dis
trict of Columbia Council in 1957,”
according to Council President
Charles M. Featherstone, Jr., “to
tell the public the latest accomp
lishments of scientific and tech
nical research for America’s mili
tary arsenal. Each Symposium fo
cuses on a specific area of Amer
ica’s defense posture with em
phasis on the Navy’s role,” he said.
These Symposiums have at
tracted worldwide attention be
cause of their use as a platform
for publicity unveiling new weap
ons. The Regulus II surface to sur
face missile, the Polaris missile sys
tem and the Marines’ revolutionary
XM-70 rocket - booster rapidfire
howitzer all were introduced to the
nation at these sessions.
By Governor William A. Egan’s
Proclamation, April 15 - 30 is “Pre
pare for Visitors” time in Alaska.
Do your part to make this the best
visitor season yet.
