Cathedral of the Air, Lakehurst (Ocean County)

Conceived by the National chaplain of the American Legion, the Cathedral of the Air was erected in 1932 to serve as a place of worship for the nearby military base, but also to do something considerably more rare: commemorate the history of aviation on it’s incredible stained glass windows. Shining from the colorful stained glass are beautiful depictions of humanity’s quest to reach the heavens. It begins with the myths of Pegasus and Icarus’ wax wings. The 18 panels then gradually lead along the history of human flight, from experimentation with lighter-than-air travel such as zeppelin airships to the Wright Brothers pioneering airplane flight. The chapel is located near the Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, a join base with Fort Dix.
