Bronze Statue of Eugene Ely by Mike Maiden
Where it Began
Bronze Statue of Eugene Ely by Mike Maiden a gift of the Boeing Company in the Naval Aviation Monument Park located off of 25th Street between Atlantic Avenue and the Boardwalk in the City of Virginia Beach in Princess Ann County Virginia U.S.A.
Eugene Ely, a daring young man from Williamsburg, was a pilot in the days when airplanes were still new. Ely made two of the world's most significant flights, which put him in the history books.
On the East Coast, he made the first ship-to-shore flight; then on the West Coast he did the opposite, flying successfully from shore to ship.
