Newspaper article describing the Wright Brothers first powered, heavier-than air flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, U.S. (The Newark Daily Advocate, December 28, 1903) Some elements of the article have been resized for presentation. The original article, including two images, occupied a full single column. Last paragraphs of article are a bit hard to read in the original image. I think they are: Wilbur and Orville Wright are expert mechanics of Dayton, O., and have been experimenting with flying machines for the past four years. They are the sons of Bishop Wright of the United Breth- ren church. In building their flier the Wright brothers have followed to some extent the work of Lillienthal, Pilcher and Octave Chanut, but they have gone much further than these experts in using greater surfaces and especially in changing the position of the operator. By so arranging their machine that the operator lies in a horizontal position in- stead of standing upright the wind re- sistance is reduced from five square feet to one, and a full half horsepower is saved. Speaking of his invention, Mr. Or- ville Wright said that he and his broth- er, after twenty-four years of hard work, have succeeded in perfecting a flying machine. He stated that the most successful test was made recently at Kitty hawk. Mr. Wright declined to discuss the details of the construction of his ma- chine, as he has not as yet completed his tests, but stated that his flier was kept afloat in the air by its peculiar method of construction and also be the continuous operation of a gasoline mo- tor which turns a huge propeller. With- out the use of the motor he stated the machine would descend as soon as its momentum was exhausted.

In the uncropped source photo at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France online, four people are shown, and Bollee is at the far right, but his face is mostly unseen because of his position.

Wilbur Wright 1867 - 1912 Wilbur Wright was born near Millville, Indiana in the United States. Together with his brother Orville, he set up and ran printing and bicycle businesses before becoming interested in flight during the mid 1890s. In 1899 the brothers began to experiment with designs for gliders. In 1903, they built the powered Wright Flyer I which made the first successful powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
