The quest to go higher, faster, and farther during the first halfcentury of aviation. Hi, im jeremy kinney. Were going to go through a tour of some artifacts that really stand out in terms of this story of higher, faster, and farther in the history of aviation. But first i want to talk about the air and space museum overall. The air and space museum has over 8 million visitors a year between the National Mall building and the stephen f. Udvarhazy center. Were looking at over 500 aircraft and helicopters. Of those aircraft, about 67 are on display on the National Mall building. So, what supports these artifacts is up to 60,000 individual small and medium artifacts. But what were going to talk about today is the story of higher, faster, and farther, which is scene sooen as a cliche in many ways throughout the history of aviation but actually has a real meaning to it, in which we look at the people who made this quest of flying in the third dimension a reality. And so, the idea of flying

The idea of flying to the highest altitudes, faster speed, longest distances tells us a lot about the Technical Development of the airplane and the reinvention of what the Wright Brothers did. Only the smithsonian can tell the story. Behind me, you see the wright flyer. Oracle right, at the controls takes flight Or
Up. Marines around me raised up, jumped up and starting firing weapons into the air, screaming and yelling and that kind of stuff. I really thought everybody lost their mind for a second. I couldnt figure out what was going on. Then i caught on what was going on, because they were looking and then i looked and theres old glory. I jumped up and started doing the same dumb thing, firing my weapon and jumping and screaming. Im carrying a weapon. I jumped up and started yelling and screaming like everybody else. I wondered how many marines we lost when we saw old glory up on top. It changed the attitude of the whole thing. It absolutely did something to us. From the exhibit space inside the National Museum of the marine corps, were joined by edward nebgloski and owen connor. Mr. Connor, on this eve of the 75th anniversary, explain why there are historic flags in that hallway that you are sitting in right now. Well, we wanted to take the opportunity to make sure the folks had the chance to
