With the dunes of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, providing the land, the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio, provided the legacy of flight. Today, a monument has been erected on Kill Devil Hills marking the spot of the first powered flight.
Even though the sand dunes of the North Carolina shore were far from home for Wilbur and Orville Wright, their genius carried them to heights well beyond their humble beginnings in Dayton, Ohio.
History was made on 17 December 1903, as the Wright brothers accomplished the first manned and powered flight. Mastery of the akies belonged, temporarily, to them.
A monument to this first flight has been erected on Kill Devil Hill.
