Original Aviators were actually made for pilots and were designed to protect pilots' eyes during flight. General Douglas MacArthur, noted for his service during World War II, were of the first to don the new specs, which were not too long after released and sold to the public. In addition to finding favor with members of the military, Aviators rose in popularity after certain celebrities were seen sporting them. Ray-Ban Aviator sales rose by 40%, for example, in the several months after the release of "Top Gun," in which actors Tom Cruise, Anthony Edwards, and Val Kilmer wore them. Another film in which Aviators were spotlighted was "Cobra,” starring Sylvester Stallone.
