On June 30, 2011, HistoryMiami is opening a new exhibit detailing the history of aviation from 1911 till the present.  During this exhibit there will be  artifacts from famous aviators such as Glenn Curtiss, Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacker and Amelia Earhart on display. Miami’s other wonderful aviation ties are celebrated with memorabilia from airlines such as Pan American World Airways and Eastern Airlines.
