Photograph of the First Flight (December 1903)
December 17, 1903 was the day humanity spread its wings and rose above the ground - for 12 seconds at first and by the end of the day for almost a minute - but it was a major breakthrough. Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle mechanics from Ohio, are the pioneers of aviations, and although Alberto Santos-Dumont was the actual first flight this photo is more well known.

Re: Photograph of the First Flight (December 1903)
Pretty much like the fact that the automobile was invented by someone before ford...I believe it was some 100 years earlier but it was never pursued in the way ford did it http://www.ausbcomp.com/~bbott/cars/carhist.htm |
