In 1918, a compass rose was added to the airfield to help air mail pilots find their way and stay on the correct route.
Here, a Berliner Helicopter prototype is on the compass rose. Between 1920 and 1924, father and son duo, Emile and Henry Berliner, developed the first practical helicopter at College Park.
