Amy Waters Yarsinske

Local Author Will Share Stories of the Flyboys Over Hampton Roads
On Sunday, March 27th, noted historian and author Amy Waters Yarsinske will speak about the little-known history of aviation in Hampton Roads. The lecture, sponsored by the York County Historical Committee, is free and open to the public, 3:00 pm in York Hall, 301 Main Street in Yorktown.  The lecture is based on Ms. Yarsinske’s book Flyboys Over Hampton Roads. In her talk, she will trace the beginnings of military aviation during World War I in Hampton Roads and will discuss the daring young men and women who flew on to fame and into history with their record-breaking flights as well as describe the tragic losses that were inevitable in early flight. Seating is limited. More information is available on the Historical Committee’s website.
