Summary

DescriptionWright First Flight 1903Dec17 (full restore 115).jpg
English: The first powered, "controlled," sustained airplane flight in history. Orville Wright, "age 32," is at the——controls of the "machine," lying prone on the lower wing with hips in the cradle which operated the wing-warping mechanism. His brother, Wilbur Wright, age 36, ran alongside——to help balance the machine, having just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing. The starting rail, the wing-rest, a coil box. And other items needed for flight preparation are visible behind the machine. (Orville Wright preset the camera. And had John T. Daniels squeeze the rubber bulb, tripping the shutter.)
