A day to celebrate the development of aviation, National Aviation Day falls on and commemorates the birthday of Orville Wright, who was still alive when the honor was first bestowed upon him for his critical work in the field of aviation.
National Aviation Day was founded in 1939 by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt through a presidential proclamation, allowing the sitting president of each year after that to also declare the day.
Federal buildings in the US may be required to fly the US flag on this day as a presidential decision in order to promote this time to celebrate the advancements made in the world of aviation.
