First Heavier-Than-Air Hop

“A field at Kitty Hawk, December 17, 1903. The Wright Flyer's second flight by Wilbur on a windy beach. Foreground shows Wilbur prone on the wing with the wing-warping cables in his hands; midground reveals Orville running alongside and locals watching from a sandhill; cold North Carolina wind drives sand across a flat strip of Outer Banks under a winter sun.”
