À propos de cet audio

America 250: The Air & Space Power Story explores how every U.S. state has helped shape America’s air and space power. In honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary, this series travels state by state, following the order they joined the Union to spotlight one defining, tangible connection to airpower or spacepower in each community. From historic sites and aircraft to launch facilities and innovation hubs, we uncover the people, places, and stories that form a collective tapestry of service, innovation, and sacrifice. Over 50 weeks, we tell the story of American air and space power, one state at a time.
