Biography of

Wiley Post

    From Wikipedia

    Wiley Hardeman Post (November 22, 1898 – August 15, 1935)

    was a famed American aviator during the period known as the Golden Age of

    Aviation, the first pilot to fly solo around the world. Also known for his work

    in high-altitude flying, Post helped develop one of the first pressure suits

    and discovered the jet stream. On August 15, 1935, Post and American humorist

    Will Rogers were killed when Post's aircraft crashed on takeoff from a lagoon

    near Point Barrow in the Territory of Alaska.

    Post's Lockheed Vega aircraft, the Winnie Mae, was on

    display at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center from

    2003 to 2011. It is now featured in the "Time and Navigation" gallery

    on the second floor of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
