| Summary | Join us for a presentation by local historian Fred Poyner IV highlighting the life of Herbert Munter, one of Seattle's earliest aviators. |
|---|
| Description | One of Seattle’s earliest aviators, Munter began his aviation exploits with the construction of his first home-built “flying machine,” which he successfully flew from the tidal flats of the Duwamish Peninsula in 1912. Over the next two decades, Munter went on to become a hero of the skies, setting several altitude records and serving as the first test pilot for the new Boeing Company in 1916.
