Most people think of Ohio and aviation because of the Wright Brothers, but Toledo was home to another innovator in flight. Join us for this fun and informative program about A. Roy Knabenshue.

The Wright Brothers are thought of  as the pioneers of flight and Ohio was their birthplace so the two have always been intertwined. But there was another innovator who called Toledo home. Learn about the daring dirigible escapades of A. Roy Knabenshue , a local pioneer in early aviation.
