It started slowly down the track, Wilbur holding the right wingtip to balance it on the rail."...........(Wilbur and Orville by Fred Howard) The first powered airplane has just lifted off, three more flights will be made between now and noon by the Wright brothers at Kill Devil Hill in 1903 before a wind gust took the airplane end over end and damaged it so that it would never fly again.
