The year 1937 saw a change in the U.S.Air Army Corps's appearance when a test pilot by the name of liutenant John A. Macready complained after a test flight that the sun had permanantly damaged his eyes. This led the introduction of the American brand Ray-ban by bauche and lomb for shades and sunglasses. Effective in the harsh conditions seen daily by these corps who till then had little protection from the blazing sun . Better known as the Aviators, they were photographed first on General Douglas MacArthur when he landed on the Phillipine islands during the second World War.They soon unexpectedly became a style statement to the rest of the world. Adopted by countless celebrities like Kim Novak, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy and John Lennon who wore Wayfarers in public and in movies . Audrey Hepburn from the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, was one who took the Wayfarers 2140 to the silver screen.
