Do you think General Douglas MacArthur realized when he landed on the beach in the Philippines during WWII wearing a pair of stylin Aviators that he would become a pop culture icon? Maybe thats taking it a little too far. I dont know if General MacArthur ever had the street cred of the Biebs, but MacArthur and his sunglasses were splashed on every newspaper in the country. Aviators were created in 1936 when the US Army Air Corps commissioned Bausch & Lomb to create a pair of sunglasses that would protect pilots eyes from sun glare, which was causing headaches and altitude sickness. Over the years Aviators have slipped in and out of the pop culture limelight with the help of such icons like the Beatles, Freddie Mercury, and Tom Cruise. If you want your name added to the list of the Hip and Trendiest People in Fargo-Moorhead, stop in to Pearle Vision and get your own pair of Aviators!
