The Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at the California
Institute of Technology (GALCIT) was a key component in the success
of the Southern California aeronautic industry, which took flight
in the 1920s. Working Together, Learning to Fly is a historical
look at the research and industry collaborations at Caltech during
the early years of GALCIT and is currently on display at
Parsons-Gates Hall of Administration.
The exhibit, a collaboration of the Caltech Library, the Caltech
Archives, GALCIT, and the Division of Engineering and Applied
Science, features four cases full of documents, photographs, and
images that highlight pioneers in the field, the history of
Caltech's legendary wind tunnel, industry partnerships, and the
important contributions that GALCIT graduates made to
aviation.
The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. on the 2nd floor of Parsons-Gates. For more information,
