THE OLDEST IN THE INDUSTRY!
Airstream is a brand of trailer manufactured in Jackson Center, Ohio. The company
was created by Wally Byam, a lawyer by training, who began building trailers out of Masonite in his backyard in Los Angeles during the late 1920s. The shape of the
Airstream dates back to the 1930s and is based on designs created by Hawley
Bowlus. Bowlus was the chief designer of Charles Lindbergh‘s aircraft, the Spirit
of St. Louis.

SOCIETY INCORPORATED ON THIS DAY IN 1888
The National Geographic Society (NGS), headquartered in Washington,
D.C., is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions
in the world. Its features include geography, archaeology and natural
science, the promotion of environmental and historical conservation,
and the study of world culture and history.
The Society began as a club for an elite group of scholars and wealthy
patrons interested in travel. On January 13, 1888, 33 explorers and
scientists gathered at the Cosmos Club, a private club in Washington,
D.C., to organize "a society for the increase and diffusion of geographical
knowledge." After preparing a constitution and a plan of organization, the
National Geographic Society was incorporated on January 27.
