Orville and Wilbur Wright

From the ongoing series ‘A Visual History of the Twentieth Century’ by papà caos.

On December 14, 1903, Wilbur Wright made the first attempt at powered flight. Unfortunately, the machine stalled while attempting to take off and the damage sustained took three days to repair.

The great breakthrough came at 10:35 a.m. on December 17, 1903, when after powering up the engine, Orville Wright took the aircraft a distance of approximately 40 metres (120 ft) in a flight lasting 12 seconds. During the course of the day the brothers made three further flights.

A Visual History of the Twentieth Century comes directly out of papà caos’s interaction with and support from Art School Orgy, Stewart Home, David Hockney and the mists of time.
