EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Orville Wright (1871-1948), co-founder of the Wright Brothers Company and one of the world's foremost pioneers in aviation, stands third from the right at the memorial for pioneer flyers who were trained at Wright Brothers Field. The image, taken on August 19, 1940, captures a poignant moment in aviation history as these early aviators gathered to pay tribute to their shared past and the remarkable achievements that had transformed human transportation. The memorial, situated at the historic Wright Brothers National Memorial Park in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, is a testament to the vision and determination of the Wright Brothers, who made their first powered and controlled airplane flight on December 17, 1903. The field, where they conducted their groundbreaking experiments, is now a National Memorial and a National Historic Site, attracting visitors from around the world. Orville Wright's presence at the memorial is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Wright Brothers and their pioneering contributions to the field of aviation. The planes, aeroplanes, and airplanes in the background serve as a visual representation of the progress made since the early days of flight, while the somber expression on Orville's face underscores the significance of the occasion and the importance of preserving the history of aviation. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the development of aviation, and a poignant tribute to the pioneers who dared to dream and who made the impossible a reality. The image, which is Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring fascination and importance of flight and the pioneers who made it possible.
