Made in Texas: 116 Years of Aviation History

In honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary, LSFM reflects on Texas’s contributions to national and global aviation achievements. Texas was home to several major pilot training locations during World War I and II, including Ellington Field, here in Houston. Texas manufacturers designed and produced thousands of aircraft for the war effort, as well as the post-war boom in civilian and commercial air travel. Many regional and national airlines, some of which still exist today, were founded in Texas. The Made in Texas: 116 Years of Texas Aviation History exhibition features photographs, artifacts, and aircraft from the LSFM collection celebrating the incredible people, planes, and companies the Lone Star State has produced.
