The Wright Brothers sold their first airplane to the United States Army in August 1909.
Their initial airplane (Model A) was tested at Fort Myer, Virginia on August 20th 1908. After a series of successful test flights, the plane crashed on the 17th of September 1908, severely injuring Orville Wright and killing his passenger, Lt. T. Selfridge.
Despite the disaster, the military was convinced the Wright Brothers had designed a capable airplane and extended their contract for one more year.
The Wrights designed another craft, the Wright Military Flyer. The Military Flyer differed from the Model A in that it had a rather shorter wingspan, longer propellers, set higher off the ground, and had a different gear ratio in the power transmission. These changes were made to increase the speed of the craft. The motor was identical to the one used the year before, however produced slightly additional horsepower as a result of modification.
The footage is from the original test flight in July 27, 1909.

My Grandfather was twelve years old when this was filmed. He learned how to fly right after WW1. He flew most everything the military had by the time he retired from the Air Force in 1951. He flew the proto type#1 of the P-26 Peashooter, he flew the first glider to ever fly in Hawaii. He lived to be 103 years old, 1896-1999. He wrote a book, 'From Jenny's to Jets, ' an amazing life. Flew B-17's and B-26'es during WW2. (Pelermo oil refinery bombing raids) Sharp as a tack at 103, he just didnt wake up one morning. God bless you Pop Pop.

The first flight by Wright brothers was 1903, and only lasted a few seconds. This flight happened a few years later (1909), and was done to show the use of an airplane in the military. It was in 1911 that the first airplane was used--in World War 1. It's a little depressing that it took two decades for pilots thought to use airplanes for something more beneficial to mankind: crop dusting!

It's amazing to witness the birth of aviation. Actually the first successful flight was 1903. In just 5 short years the airplane was going to be used in aerial dogfights over the skies of Europe between the French, Germans and British. 60 years after this flight men were walking on the moon. Aviation made ASTOUNDING advancements in just one lifetime. A baby born in 1900 could've witnessed this flight as a boy and as a senior citizen witnessed the first man walking on the moon in 1969. Amazing!

I had an old woman, in Dayton Ohio, tell me a story in the early 1990s. Her and another little girl ( early in 1903 ) were walking home from school, through the alley behind the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop. Word was out that the Wright brothers were trying to build a flying machine. Like a couple of ornery kids, they put a milk crate under the back window of the bike shop and stood on it, shouting through the opening, " CRAZY MEN...CRAZY MEN ". She said her and her friend jumped down and ran off up the alley, laughing all the way home. She finished the story with a happy twinkle in her eye and a big smile, proud of herself.

My grandfather was 9 years old at the time of this flight. But when he was in basic training 1918 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma he took a tiny black and white picture and included it in his photo album of a biplane flying above. He wrote under the picture, "An airplane in the air." For a soldier boy from the hills of Vermont in 1918, that was something to write home about.

Back in Florida, a little more than a month ago, I finally witnessed something I really hope to see. A rocket launch! I saw it by accident while sitting in my rental car in a Publix Supermarket parking lot. I was amazed to see the rocket going upward with engines blazing, and leaving a corkscrew contrail etched in the sky. Then came the rumble from the engine like a gentle but irrepressible wave that washed over me. At this point I glanced around the parking area and noticed that the locals didn't even look up. Even the sound from the rocket didn't appear to register with anyone. It was old news to people who lived there. That's why nobody seems to be getting too excited about the Wright Brothers flight in this video.

Love the Wright Brothers. This film is great but it’s not the first flight. The first flight was done in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17th, 1903. There were only pictures taken on this day. The flights in the film where taken in 1909 at Fort Myer Virginia for Army trials to see if military would purchase rights to the plane for military use. The more you learn about these guys the more interesting they become. Wilbur died in 1912 two weeks before the Titanic tragedy from eating tainted oysters. Orville died in 1947 seeing the beginnings of the jet age. God Bless them. Their story embodies the true American story of hard work, determination and problem solving to realize a dream which had fascinated humanity for thousands of years.

Just got back from Thanksgiving at Kitty Hawk and listened to David McCullough's audio CD on the Wright Brothers. Very humbling to stand there where it all began. This video is almost a year after Orville crashed during demonstrations at Ft Myer due to a cracked propeller and was seriously hurt. His passenger, Lt. Selfridge, was killed - the first aircraft fatality. Little known is that President Roosevelt could have been in the passenger seat a few days earlier but high winds postponed any flying. Orville felt he could not refuse if asked by Roosevelt but believed it was too risky.

Notice that Orville and the Army Lieutenant get in the plane, sit down, and don't have anything to secure themselves to the plane. No seat belt, no harness, no straps. That's extremely dangerous. How dangerous? Well, it killed several other aviators when they fell out of their planes, such as Harriet Quimby and her passenger. So, if this all looks like "fun and games" and a lark, it wasn't. This was serious business.
