It was intended that Wilbur Wright, the elder of the two brothers should fly the first powered, controlled flight for the history books on 14th December 1903. However, after almost launching, he dropped a wing and the aircraft stayed on the ground. As the brothers did everything in turn, after a small repair, and three days later on the morning of 17th December 1903, the younger brother Orville made the first successful flight. This was photographed by one of the ground crew, from the nearby life-saving station at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
