WRIGHT BROTHERS December 17th

The Wright Memorial Beacon,

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N. C.

NEAR KITTY HAWK
The Wright Memorial, of North Carolina granite, is mounted on top of the principal dune of Kill Devil Hills, where Wilbur and Orville Wright experimented with their glider. On December 17, 1903, near the foot of this hill, they successfully flew their plane under its own power, the first flight of a heavier-than-air machine ever made by man. At night the beacon from the tower may sweep across four-mile-wide Roanoke Sound from the Birthplace of Aviation to the Birthplace of the Nation.

This video I made on my 2011 trip to D.C. and the Smithsonian.
The movie starts with Orville and Wilbur and goes on from there.
