The Admiral Towers Plaza in the city of Rome is dedicated in memory of Admiral John Henry Towers, the “Father of Naval Aviation” and a native Roman. Adjacently located to the Rome City Hall, the life-sized bronze statue of Admiral Towers and the surroundings tell his fascinating story. Born in 1885, Towers was born and raised in downtown Rome, and in 1911, became the third naval officer to receive the designation of “Naval Aviator” and is the first Naval Aviator to achieve Flag Rank (Admiral). Admiral Towers is included in the National Aviation Hall of Fame and the International Aviation Hall of Fame.
