Marine aviation's beginnings will be celebrated in Marblehead Aug. 3-4.
Local Marines and the Marine Corps Aviation Association will commemorate the centennial of the first Marine Corps' flight, taken from Marblehead Harbor by Alfred A. Cunningham in 1912, with two days of aircraft displays and flyovers, and a Saturday morning parade.
On Friday and Saturday, a fleet of Marine Humvees, helicopters, and planes from throughout the Corps' history will be on display at the Marblehead Village School, and their pilots will be on hand to answer questions. A collection of art showing the history of Marine Corps aviation also be on exhibit.
