Wilbur Wright was born in Indiana, but he and his family moved to Dayton before his younger brother, Orville, and their sister, Katherine, were born. The brothers were fascinated with learning to fly, playing with kites and a toy helicopter. They developed several glider planes before the Flyer 1, a gasoline-powered plane. Orville's attempt to fly at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1901, lasted only 12 seconds. Wilbur's flight that day was in the air for 59 seconds. Their short flights changed transportation forever. The Flyer 1 is now at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.It is the most best airplane in the world when they made it.
