	ExxonMobil Aviation Lubricants
		Ever since the Wright Brothers made aviation history in 1903 with a Mobiloil in their plane's four-cylinder engine, aviators have been using our lubricants.
		And when Wiley Post became the first aviator to circle the globe solo, his aircraft's engine was also lubricated with our oil.
		By the time commercial aviation entered the jet age in the late 1950s, our synthetic oils were leading the way, lubricating the engines and accessories of military aircraft and the first passenger jets.

	aviation. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		General aviation consists of agricultural, business, charter, instructional, and pleasure flying; it includes such activities as the operation of air taxis, as well as aerial surveying and mapping.
		At first aviation development was motivated by the large prizes put up by publicity-seeking newspapers; but the outbreak of World War I in 1914 provided far greater motivation for aviation research and development (see air forces.
		The cessation of hostilities made available a large number of aircraft that could be bought cheaply, and the result was a great deal of aviation activity; barnstorming and stunt-flying kept aviation before the eyes of the public for a time, but the real stimulus was the initiation of airmail service in the mid-1920s.

		Modern writers of aviation history recognize Chanute's experiments and their importance to the development of powered flight.
		Histories of flight, like Dr. Tom Crouch's A Dream of Wings or Fred Howard's biography Wilbur and Orville, give extensive consideration to Chanute and his 'two-surface' glider - the glider that inspired the Wright brothers in their construction of a bi-plane to be the vehicle for man's first powered flight.
		On December 17, 1903 two obscure brothers from Dayton, Ohio shared the thrill of controlled powered flight for the first time, and the world was never to be quite the same again.

		During WW I, Coast Guard aviators were assigned to naval air stations in the U.S. and abroad.
		In 1928, an aviation section under Commander Norman Hall was established at Coast Guard Headquarters, and developed the concept of "flying lifeboats." These aircraft could fly hundreds of miles, land in an open and frequently uninviting sea and carry out a rescue.
