🚀👶 Oh look, teenage brothers in 1911 built a plane! Because apparently, the Wright brothers weren’t enough, and aviation history needed a dash of adolescent recklessness. ✈️🔧 But sure, let’s pretend this footnote in history is groundbreaking. #DesperateForContent

Oh, that very photograph was a living part of my inner world as a young boy: visions of daring discoveries and inventions, and the ideal of persisting against the odds and not listening to all those conventional voices around you that say it can't be done. Seeing it here brings back powerful memories.
And yes, you are right, Daniels's image is not just a coincidental record, visually & artistically it stands on its own as a true photograph.

This is a little over a decade after the #WrightBrothers at #KittyHawk and about a year after the assassination of #FranzFerdinand.

@astropartigirl Wanna hear something incredibly cool? A small swatch of material from the left wing of the Wright Brothers plane, the first plane to ever fly on Earth, is attached to #Ingenuity on #Mars.
So, a piece of the first plane to ever fly on Earth was also part of the first ever flight on Mars. What a beautiful thing.

#Ingenuity carried a small patch of material to #Mars from the #WrightBrothers’ original Flyer aircraft. It performed 72 flights over a period of three years, a total flight time of over two hours. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/nasas-martian-helicopter-ingenuity-stops-flying-due-to-rotor-damage

Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica

12/1/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.
It's a rainy First Friday in the beautiful & historic Oregon District of Dayton, Ohio. Even Tom Swift tried to elbow in on the action with a Wright Flyer & a crankless ignition car for his adventures. We're a fascinating stop for your next expedition!
