Wilbur Wright, American aviation pioneer, 1908 (1956). Artist: Unknown

Wilbur Wright, American aviation pioneer, 1908 (1956). Wright, together with his brother Orville, was an American co-inventor of aircraft. They originally designed and built bicycles but changed their interest to flying, producing a controllable glider by 1902, and a year later the first aircraft, Flyer I. This was piloted by Orville on 17th December 1903 in the first powered and controlled aircraft flight. The Flyer III, built in 1905, was the first efficient plane and, by 1909, the American army had ordered a military version. From the Science Museum, London. A print from People, a volume about the origin and early history of many things, common and less common, essential and inessential, by Readers Union, the Grosvenor Press, London, 1956.
