Inn owner Frank Miller had the
Saint Francis Chapel built to
hold the Rayas Altar and the Louis
Comfort Tiffany stained glass
windows. The
chapel and the area outside the
chapel, named the Atrio, were
dedicated as the International
Shrine for Aviators on December
15, 1932. St.
Francis was considered a special
friend of birds. Mr.
Miller decided St. Francis could
also be a special friend of fliers. The
wall to the left of the chapel
entrance is the Famous Fliers
Wall honoring 151 well-known fliers
or groups of fliers. For
each honoree a set of copper wings
are attached to the wall. The
151 honored include astronaut
John Glenn, Charles Lindbergh,
Orville Wright, and Amelia Earhart.
