Here we are, in the early years gallery, of the National Museum, of the United States Air Force, in Dayton Ohio. And nothing marked these early years of aviation more than the Wright Brothers. In the 1890s, Orville and Wilbur Wright built, sold, and repaired bicycles in a shop in Dayton Ohio. This is how they earned money to fund their aviation experiments. These two pioneers dedicated themselves, to solving the mystery of heavier-than-air powered flight. Using their mechanical talents, brilliant insights, and careful experimentation, they successfully designed three-axis control, a method that made airplane flight possible. Submitting a patent for the design in March of 1903, this ultimately led to the pivotal day, on December 17 1903, where Orville lifted off for 12 seconds, and 120 feet, near Kitty Hawk North Carolina — the first controlled, powered flight in history.
