Wright Brothers – First Manned Flight

Wright Brothers – First Manned Flight
The brothers built a movable track to help launch the Flyer. This downhill track would help the aircraft gain enough airspeed to fly. After two attempts to fly this machine, one of which resulted in a minor crash, Orville Wright took the Flyer for a 12-second, sustained flight on December 17, 1903. This was the first successful, powered, piloted flight in history.

These are the photographs of each of the four flights. In the fourth you actually need to look closer at the photo to see how far the plane flew. That was obviously the successful mission.
