Before NAA became one of the main leaders in the field of aviation near to the century, it actually have its main roots planted firmly on the flor of ground. NAA’s forerunner was the Automobile Club of America, which counted some of America’s very influential people among all members—William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Charles Glidden and Phillip T. Dodge to name a few. These men and several others decided to branch out into the fledgling field of aviation in 1905, founding the Aero Club of America (ACA). In 1905, few people are believed powered aircraft would be feasible in the future. At the beginning, the ACA’s goal was to promote aviation in any of way possible, as both a sport and as a commercial endeavor. ACA’s early work helped toadvance aviation in its early years faster than it might have developed in otherwise.
