Donald S. Lopez from Air Force Link Top Stories
Donald S. Lopez Sr. was a former U.S. Army Air Forces and U.S. Air Force fighter and test pilot, who also became an aerospace engineer, Air Force Academy professor, and aviation historian -- and legend to all who knew him. He was instrumental in developing the exhibits that welcomed visitors on opening day for the National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976. And now, NASM is one of the most visited museums in the world.
Born in Brooklyn, N. Y., Lopez showed an interest in aviation at an early age. In 1927, when he was three, he remembered waving at the heroic figure of Charles Lindbergh as he paraded through the streets of Brooklyn. "I cannot remember a time since then when I was not interested in flight," Lopez said in his memoirs. He became an avid reader of publications about World War I aviation like Flying Aces and Battle Birds.
