THE AIRFIELD AND BEYOND: THE MUSEUM OF FLIGHT'S ADDED ATTRACTIONS FROM THE BOOK COVER: "A LETTER FROM THE MUSEUM'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: IN 1964, A SMALL GROUP OF AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS HAD A DREAM TO BUILD A FLIGHT MUSEUM IN SEATTLE. THEY WERE CONCERNED OVER THE NEGLECT AND LOSS OF AVIATION ARTIFACTS, AND THEY WERE SURE THAT SAVING AND DISPLAYING THIS HISTORY WOULD BE PURPOSEFUL AND POPULAR. THE RESULT IS THIS NEW MUSEUM OF FLIGHT. OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES, HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS HAVE SHARED THE DREAM--ORGANIZING, COLLECTING AND BUILDING. THE GOVERNMENT OF KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, MADE THIS DYNAMIC SITE AT BOEING FIELD AVAILABLE: HERE, HISTORY IS MADE EVERY DAY. FINALLY, LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PRIVATE DONORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BUILD THE KIND OF MUSEUM REQUIRED TO TELL THE ENDURING STORY OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT IN FLIGHT. THE HISTORIC RED BARN HAS BEEN SAVED AND WORKS VERY WELL AS A PRECIOUS LOCATION FOR DISPLAYS OF EARLY FLIGHT HISTORY. WHO CAN GUESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS OLD STRUCTURE WILL BECOME TO US IN THE FUTURE? THE COLLECTION WITHIN IT HAS EXPANDED BEYOND THE FONDEST DREAMS OF EARLY ENTHUSIASTS, PROVIDING FOR OUR STUDY SOME OF THE MOST VALUABLE ICONS OF OUR CENTURY. THE DISPLAYS TRACING MANKIND'S INDOMITABLE PURSUIT OF FLIGHT, ARE COMPREHENSIVE. INCLUDED WITH THE HARDWARE ONE WILL FIND THE STORIES OF HUMAN ENTERPRISE, SUCCESSES AND FAILURES, THE EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY, THE BUILDING OF AN INDUSTRY, AND, ALWAYS, THE IMPACT OF ALL OF THIS ON US AND OUR WORLD. WE OPENED THE GREAT GALLERY IN JULY 1987 WITH A BIG 'WELCOME!' WE WANT OUR VISITORS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME WHILE LOOKING, LISTENING, STUDYING, REFLECTING, AND WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE TOURS, SPECIAL EVENTS AND PROGRAMS. WE WANT YOU TO SHARE OUR DREAM. AND TO DREAM YOUR OWN DREAM OF WHAT THE FUTURE CAN HOLD. HOWARD LOVERING, EXECUTIVE DIR. 47 pp. N� de r�f. du vendeur 005164
