Over the Front's Back to the Cradle Seminar

The League of WWI Aviation Historians will be holding its biennial seminar in San Antonio, Texas, Friday and Saturday, October 16 & 17, 2009. San Antonio, home to Kelly and Brooks Fields, as well as Ft. Sam Houston, where some of the first U. S. military flights took place, is rightly known as the Cradle of Military Aviation; hence our seminar's theme, Back to the Cradle.

We'll begin the evening of Thursday, October 15 with an informal get-together where you can renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Friday will be devoted to presentations on many aspects of the air war by well-known historians and authors. That evening, we'll have our traditional banquet with an after-dinner speaker.

Saturday will be divided between additional presentations and a field trip. We're still finalizing arrangements, but we believe you'll be delighted with what you see.

For everyone's convenience, we'll be staying at a hotel with free shuttle service to the nearby San Antonio Airport, and we've arranged for a block of rooms at a special rate. If you want to take in downtown San Antonio, with its famous Riverwalk and the Alamo, you'll be only a few minutes' drive away.

Many details are being finalized, so we'll update as they become available. Until then, mark your calendar -- October 16 and 17.

See you at the Seminar!
