The Wright Brothers
are, as every school kid knows, two bicycle builders famous for making
man's first powered airplane flight (photo) on December 17, 1903.
In the process they
made
a windy hilltop and a tiny village on North Carolina's Outer Banks famous.
They also
gave
North Carolina it's license plate slogan, "First In Flight".
You
will find plenty of good historical information on the Wright
Brothers in the links below these photos. All I have to add are
these photos of the Wright Brothers Memorial Pylon at Kill Devil
Hill and the airplane replica in the museum. The black & white
archival photo at left is from the Library of Congress .
