First Flight This compact National Parks Service Handbook describes
the lives of America's first pilots, the Wright brothers, and their
invention of the first successful heavier-than-air-machine--the
airplane. In addition to their personal history, the book describes
sites where the brothers conducted their experiments, such as Kitty
Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. It also describes their
development of the first "practical" airplane-the 1905 Wright Flyer
III, preserved today at the Aviation Heritage National Historical
Park, Huffman Prairie Flying Field in Dayton, Ohio. Illustrations
tracing the Wrights' progress, maps, and a fold-out chart depicting
the 1903 Wright Flyer and the principles of flight make this
publication an indispensable guide to the Wright brothers' story.
