But it wasn't until August 19th in 1939, that National Aviation Day was created. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a Presidential Proclamation that declared August 19th, National Aviation Day.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt chose the date of August 19th as a way to honor Orville Wright, on his 68th Birthday. So from that year forward, National Aviation Day has been celebrated on Orville Wrights Birthday.
Look for Celebration schedules at the Wright Bothers National Memorial on the Wright Brothers National Memorial website.
