Acting Brothers Dayton Flights Instructor Ohio Opening Orville Simms Wilbur Wright
EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of photographs documents the early days of flight instruction at the Wright Flying School in Dayton, Ohio, during the summer of 1910. Following the successful opening of the school in May, Orville Wright, one of the Wright Brothers, is seen acting as an instructor in these images. The location of these lessons took place at Simms Station, a popular tourist attraction that offered visitors the opportunity to witness the thrilling world of aviation firsthand. In the first photograph, Orville is seen standing next to a biplane, likely preparing for a lesson with a student. The second image captures the moment of takeoff, with the Wright Brother's signature wings spread wide as they lift off the ground. The third photograph in the series shows the instructor and student in mid-air, their faces filled with excitement and concentration as they soar through the Ohio sky. The final photograph in the series depicts a landing, with Orville guiding the student as they touch down smoothly on the grassy field. These images offer a unique glimpse into the early days of flight instruction and the pioneering spirit of the Wright Brothers, who continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of aviation. These photographs are not only a testament to the Wright Brothers' groundbreaking achievements but also serve as a reminder of the thrill and adventure that comes with learning something new and pushing oneself to reach new heights. The images capture the essence of a bygone era, offering a fascinating look into the history of flight and the men who made it possible.
