EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the remodeled 1905 Wright Flyer, an aviation pioneer's masterpiece that underwent significant alterations in 1908. Orville and Wilbur Wright, the visionary brothers behind this groundbreaking invention, made history by modifying their machine to accommodate a sitting position for the operator and providing a seat for a passenger. The image, taken on May 11, 1908, at the Kill Devil Hills launching track, is apparently the only known photograph of this altered Wright Flyer taken by the Wright brothers themselves. The brothers had recognized the importance of making their aircraft more comfortable and accessible to passengers, paving the way for the development of more advanced and practical flying machines. In this photograph, the Wright Flyer, with its sleek design and innovative features, sits proudly on the launching track, ready for takeoff. The brothers' determination and ingenuity are evident in the meticulously crafted details of the machine, from the intricate wooden frame to the carefully positioned control surfaces. The launching track at Kill Devil Hills holds a special place in aviation history, as it was the site of numerous successful flights by the Wright brothers. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of human flight and their vision for a future where air travel would become a reality for all.
