United States Air Force Academy

The AMTA is proud to announce that the United States Air Force Academy, in Colorado Springs, has agreed to accept a bronze bust of Charles E. Taylor. The U.S.A.F.A. currently has a bust of Orville & Wilbur Wright. The Academy is pleased to accept the AMTA's donation of the lifelike bronze bust of "Charlie" which will be placed alongside the Wright brothers. For there were truly three men responsible for mankind's achievement in controlled, POWERED flight. The world knows two of these men. With the U.S.A.F.A.'s placement of this Charles E. Taylor bust in their collection the recognition that Mr. Taylor deserves will be taken one step further.

As with all the busts that the AMTA donates this bronze bust will also be created by the talented artist Virginia Krause Hess. In order to help purchase this bust the AMTA is now accepting donations and AMTA memberships. These may be made by using the PayPal link below and simply specify that your donation is to go towards the U.S.A.F.A. bust of Charles E. Taylor or by mailing directly to the AMTA at P.O. Box 211591, Chula Vista CA 91921. Write on your check "U.S.A.F.A. bust". Currently the AMTA is finalizing the details covering this donation. As they are made the information will be passed along to all. It is hopeful that the bust is donated as soon as the money is raised to purchase the bust.

If there are any questions please contact me at KenMacTiernan@yahoo.com. With YOUR support Charles E. Taylor will no longer be remembered as aviation's original "Unsung Hero" but rather remembered in the same breath as that used when mentioning other aviation icons.
