The James S. McDonnell Prologue Room in
St. Louis tells this panoramic story of more than eight decades of aviation
progress, from biplanes to space travel. Scale models, dioramas, paintings and
photographs depict such important events as the first flight around the world in
1924, the first take-off of a jet fighter from a U.S. Navy carrier in 1946, the
first aircraft to land at the South Pole in 1956, and the first manned
spacecraft to orbit the Earth in 1962.
