EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on November 9,1944, we witness a significant moment in aviation history. General Hap Arnold, the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces during World War II and a staunch supporter of aeronautical research, pays a visit to the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory (AERL) in Cleveland, Ohio. The AERL was part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which is now known as John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. The image captures General Arnold examining ice formation on propeller blades—an essential aspect of aircraft safety and performance during that era. Standing tall with an air of authority and expertise, he symbolizes America's dedication to advancing aviation technology during wartime. This photograph not only showcases the military significance but also highlights the importance of scientific exploration and innovation in space travel. As an officer in uniform accompanies him, it serves as a reminder that behind every great achievement lies countless hours of meticulous research conducted by brilliant minds like those at NASA. Preserved by Heritage Images from NASA's archives, this historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when men like General Arnold propelled our nation forward through their unwavering commitment to progress in transportation and aerospace engineering.
