This is an excerpt out of Orville Wrights Diary. The excerpt is from 1903 when they flew the 1903 Wright Flyer. In it he states how his first flight went and the problems that he and his brother had with the plane as they took off for the first flight. This gave me an idea of how they thought and looked at everything on the airplane.

New York Times. "The Wrights Fly 1,000 Feet." New York Times [New York] 7 May 1908: 1. ProQuest Historical Newspapers. Web. 20 Jan. 2012. <http://hngraphical.proquest.com/hnweb/hnpl/do/document?set=searchalleras&Start=1&ren...>.

This is an article from the New York Times talking about their 1908 Model A Flyer. In it saying how big it was and how many people it could carry. Also that it traveled almost exactly 1,000 feet . also about which way it went and how fast it traveled. This gave me an idea of what most people thought of the Wright brothers flights.

This Article talks about Wilbur s attempt in flying the Model A Flyer. This takes place in Le Mans and also talks about who was there. The writer also mentions his control of the plane. This tells me what the people saw instead of the perspective of Wilbur or Orville. Websites:

This Website has primary source pictures. It even has some from 1901, 1905, and 1909. It also shows the Wright family home and both Wright Brother Businesses. This helps me understand what they went through as children and adults.

This website article is from the first person ever to report a flight. In it he talks about the making of the plane and how it works, also about its engine. Amazingly there is only two or three mentions of the flight that the writer reported. This article helped me see how others reacted and if there really were people sneaking a peek at the flyer. OPA. "Wright Brothers' Flight, 1909." OPA-Online Public Access. U.S National Archives. Web. 23 Dec. 2011. <http://research.archives.gov/description/2038>.

This site holds 4 minute video showing the 1909 flyer being taken out of a small hangar. From there it is taken to a runway from which it is checked for damage. When it s all prepped up its propellers are spun and it shows a short flight. This helped me see how many people actually helped with the plane, also how many people were there to cheer on the flyer.
