Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, December 18, 1903.
The problem of aerial navigation without the use of a balloon has been solved at last.
Over the sand hills of the North Carolina coast yesterday, near Kitty Hawk, two Ohio men proved that they could soar through the air in a flying machine of their own construction, with the power to steer it and speed it at will. This, too, in the face of a wind blowing at the confirmed velocity of twenty-one miles an hour.
Like a monster bird, the invention hovered above the breakers and circled over the rolling sand hills at the command of its navigator and, after soaring for three miles, it gracefully descended to earth again and rested lightly upon the spot selected by the man in the car as a suitable landing place........~

The story is captivating and thrilling to read. I enjoyed reading about them when I was a kid. This picture brings the story to life, it captures the moment so beautifully. Love the sepia tone, the aged look as if we were there, a gorgeous, pro quality work of beauty. #11414543Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
