WHY THE SHADE?
Wilbur and Orville Wright completed the first flight of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft near Kitty Hawk on Dec. 17, 1903. It lasted 30 seconds.
The work that made that flight possible, including building the plane, happened in Dayton, where the brothers lived most of their lives.
A much longer flight in 1904 happened locally at Huffman Prairie.
Ohio and North Carolina have long battled for the claim of birthplace of Aviation.
