<div>(sorry if you get this twice, had to re-size picture due to size limit). <br>

Hrm... what's up with "slide #4", which is captioned: "The first airplane flight in history.  Orville Wright flew for 9 minutes and 34 seconds in 1911."<br>
<br>
This picture is of Orville on a flight in 1911, but notice - no motors ?  This picture shows their glider, which they had returned to NC in 1910-1911 for testing, to try to commercialize.

The first powered airplane flight (and that has come under debate) occurred  on Dec. 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, NC, some 8 years before this picture was taken.
