Brothers Soar! Wright Brothers Take to the Skies!
By: Katy Coleman
Kill Devil Hill, (December, 17, 1903), Wilbur and Orville Wright, two bicycle repair shop owners have successfully completed their dreams of creating a powered and controlled flight machine, thus making aviation possible.
They suffered many delays earlier this week caused by broken propeller shafts. This first flight, made by Orville at 10:35 am, of 120 feet in 12 seconds, at a speed of only 6.8 miles per hour during freezing headwind gusting about 27 miles per hour.
Katy,
