A pioneering radar engineer at Wright Field’s Avionics Lab, Bahret is often called “the father of stealth.” He developed groundbreaking methods to measure and predict radar signatures based on shape and materials—without the need for physical models. His work identified key contributors to radar reflection, such as curved surfaces, jet turbines, and antennas. By the 1960s, his theories had been applied to stealth-enhancing designs, such as the Hound Dog missile, placing the U.S. decades ahead in radar evasion technology and laying the foundation for modern low-observable aircraft. |
This prestigious event is the beginning of a meaningful partnership. For more than 60 years, our nonprofit has reached young aviators nationwide with the stories and lessons of our Enshrinees. With your support, there is no limit to what we can achieve in the next 60 years.
We gathered with the national aviation and aerospace community to celebrate the remarkable achievements and lasting impact of our 2025 Inductees. Last year’s Enshrinement event took place at the historic B-29 Doc Hangar in Wichita, where attendees heard powerful stories from our newest enshrinees and shared countless unforgettable moments.
