EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the historic moment of the Wright Brothers' test flights at Fort Myer, Virginia, in 1909. Orville (left) and Wilbur Wright (right) are seen standing confidently before their Flyer airplane, with Orville adjusting a control on the aircraft. The brothers had been offered a $25,000 contract by the U.S. War Department if their Flyer reached a speed of 40 miles per hour. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as a crowd of spectators, including Martha Kuntze Newcombe and Martha Ewing, both wearing fashionable hats and clothing, gather to witness the event. The men in the crowd don suits and straw boaters, adding to the sense of occasion. The image, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the early 20th century and the beginning of the aviation era in America.
