Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation (Burbank)


According to its web site ( www.portalofthefoldedwings.com/ ), The Valhalla Memorial Rotunda was originally built in 1924 and rededicated in December 1953 as The Portal of the Folded Wings - Shrine to Aviation in a ceremony presided over by Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker. In attendance were members of the Early Birds, and other pioneer aviation organizations, who were contemporaries of Wilbur and Orville Wright, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Com. Richard E. Byrd.

The photo above was taken from the Los Angeles Public Library photo database, showing the crash.

"Spectators gather around the wreckage of a Navajo-Piper aircraft scattered at the base of the Portal of Folded Wings monument in Burbank. The twin-engine plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Hollywood-Burbank Airport. Photograph dated: July 21, 1969."
