EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in aviation history. The image shows "The Wright Flyer I" making its first flight of 120 feet in just 12 seconds at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on the morning of December 17th, 1903. In this remarkable shot taken by John Daniels, we see Orville Wright at the controls of the aircraft while his brother Wilbur runs alongside it. This groundbreaking event marked the first controlled, powered, and sustained airplane flight ever achieved. The Wright brothers' invention revolutionized transportation and paved the way for modern aviation as we know it today. It is fascinating to observe this early experimental airplane with its biplane design taking off into the sky against all odds. This photograph showcases their innovation and determination to conquer the skies despite being self-taught pioneers in this field. John Daniels captured this significant moment using Orville's tripod-mounted camera from his position at Kill Devil Hills Life Saving Station. His skillful photography immortalizes not only a pivotal moment but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. This image reminds us of how far we have come since that monumental day over a century ago when two brothers dared to dream big and changed our world forever through their incredible invention.
