Wright Field

Named for Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, the 1903 co-inventors of the airplane, Wright Field became the center of aeronautical research, development, and weapon system acquisition after it assumed this mission when McCook Field, America's "Cradle of Aviation" near downtown Dayton, closed in 1927, and Wright Field was dedicated on October 12, 1927. In the Creed of Wright Field of December 17, 1942, those who served there pledged themselves to the vision and purpose that motivated the Wright brothers, taking their patience, firm determination, and untiring devotion as a guiding inspiration.
