The Back Story:
First In Flight
Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. After four years of experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights in 1903. These self-taught engineers relied on courage, perseverance, teamwork and application of the scientific method.
Few moments in history have done more to capture the essence of the American spirit, the freedom to pursue one’s dreams, than the Wright brothers’ historic first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
Extraordinary men with an extraordinary machine, the Wright Brothers defied gravity and reached the sky. The 12- second flight that day made our world a little smaller and changed it forever.
