12 seconds that changed the world
117 years ago, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, USA, taught the world to fly.
The Wright brothers made the first controlled, powered, heavier-than-air flight in the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on this date in 1903.
Happy #FirstFlight Day to Orville & Wilbur Wright from Global FBO Consult.
Also on this day, in 1935, the first flight of the Douglas Sleeper Transport (DC-3) took place with Chief Test Pilot Carl Cover at the controls. That was just 32 years after history was made at Kitty Hawk.
More than 10,600 of the DC-3 & it's many military variants (C-47, C-53, C-117, R4D to name a few) were produced at several factories across the USA. The Soviet Union built just short of 5,000 as the Lisunov 2 & 487 were built in Japan by Mitsubishi as the L2D Type 0.
