Wright Brothers Day

Day 4,410, 10:16 • Published in Greece USA

• by Baby Yoda

Orville and Wilbur Wright, bicycle manufacturers from Dayton, Ohio, achieved the first powered, sustained, controlled airplane flight Dec. 17, 1903, heralding the age of heavier-than-air aviation.

In 1908, when the U.S. Army Signal Corps stood up an Aeronautical Division, they received 41 bids, but only the one submitted by the Wright Brothers produced a flyable aircraft. Additionally the Wright brothers trained several Army pilots, including Henry H. “Hap” Arnold, future commander of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.
