DID YOU KNOW?
On January 27, 1948, Orville suffered a heart attack; he died three days later in a Dayton hospital. There is perhaps no better epitaph for both Wright brothers than the words crafted by a group of their friends to appear as a label identifying the 1903 Wright airplane on display at the Smithsonian stating: “By original
scientific research, the Wright brothers discovered the principles of human flight. As inventors, builders, and flyers, they further developed the airplane, taught man to fly, and opened the era of aviation.” I hope this Biography gives you a better understanding of these two brothers from Dayton!
