Did you know...

 

.... that today is the birthday of Skywriting? In 1922, RAF

Captain Cyril Turner wrote "Hello USA. Call Vanderbilt 7200."

over the skies of New York City, the first public

demonstration of skywriting. Over 47,000 people called the

number, which happened to be the Vanderbilt Hotel where George

Hill, the president of the American Tobacco Company, was

staying. Hill was convinced the advertisements would work well

to promote his product.
