Pilots,

The world of naval aviation wouldn’t be as we know it today, if it weren’t for the dedication and fearlessness of one man: Eugene Burton Ely. During his short lifespan, Ely managed to achieve great things, including the first landing of a fixed wing aircraft on a ship, which is why we chose to remember him today. Enjoy rich boosts to your XP income as well as amazing discounts during this special!
