Ray-Ban Aviator, when the art of flying became a science.
Dec
McCook Field proving ground in Dayton, Ohio, was the stage for those feats. Illustrious names passed through this impressive cradle of pilots. Even the father of Buzz Aldrin, (2nd man to set foot on the moon) Mr. Edwin E. Aldrin, helped establish the McCook School of Engineering. Before coming to McCook, he taught a young pilot named Leroy Grumman.

He attempted to put the plane into a gentle descent, but instead went into a vertical dive and blacked out. He regained consciousness after gliding for about six miles and was able to exit at an altitude of 2.000 feet. » As a result of this flight, Schroeder's vision was impaired for the rest of his life.[/stockie_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/5″][vc_single_image image=”6021487″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][stockie_text]John A, Macready decided to take matters into his own hands and asked Bausch & Lomb, New York-based medical equipment manufacturer to create sunglasses that reduce headaches, nausea and dazzling experienced by the pilots, due to the intense blue and white tones of the sky, The prototype, created in 1936 and known as 'Anti-Glare', had wraparound plastic frames and green lenses that could cut glare without obscuring vision.

In 1939, Ray-Ban released a new version of the aviator called the "Outdoorsman." It was designed for specific groups, such as lovers of hunting, shooting and fishing, and had an upper bar called "sweat bar" which was designed to catch the sweat that fell into the eyes. A few years later, in the 1940s, gradient lenses were introduced with a special coating on the top of the lens for added protection, but no bottom coating for a clear view of the aircraft instrument panel.
Later and during world war XNUMX General Douglas McArhur, landed with them on the beaches of the Philippines.[/stockie_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row ][vc_column width=”3/5″][stockie_text]Meanwhile, Hollywood picked up style and traveled with her in many films. Starting in 1.953 with the film Marlon Brando "The Wild One", (Wild), became a myth.

As a result, a large number of boys who joined the biker gangs they wore Aviators. Soon, the style was copied by moviegoers as well, who were drawn to the powerful image of the rebellious Brando.
