The photo opposite the title page measures 3-1/4 by 4-3/4 inches. The caption reads, "THE FIRST FLIGHT, Kitty Hawk, N.C., December 17, 1903. The plane, piloted by Orville Wright, has just taken off from the monorail. Wilbur Wright, running at the side, held the wing to balance the machine until it left the track." From the Foreword: The airplane in which that epochal flight was made was built by the Wright brothers in a small bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. Many years later, Henry Ford acquired the building that housed the shop and brought it for restoration to Greenfield Village, which is part of The Edison Institute, at Dearborn, Michigan. With it came the unpretentious two-story frame house that once was the Dayton home of the Wright brothers' parents. In that house, in 1891, Orville Wright was born; in it, in 1912, Wilbur Wright died. . more information
