Photograph of the first powered flight, made by Orville Wright on 17 December 1903 near Kill Devil Hill, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. Wright can be seen lying on the lower wing of the 12 horse-power, chain-driven Flyer I. This photo was taken as the aircraft left the ground at the end of the take-off rail visible at left. The flight lasted for about 12 seconds, covering a distance of 36.5 metres at an airspeed of 48 kilometres/hour, a groundspeed of 10.9 kilometres/hour and an altitude of 2.5 to 3.5 metres.

Wright Model H airplane. Flight of the new Wright military aeroplane, the Wright Model H, at Simms Station on Huffman Prairie, near Dayton, Ohio, USA, in 1914. US aviation pioneers Wilbur and Orville Wright produced a series of aircraft models, starting with the first successful flight in a heaver-than-air machine (1903). Among the designs they produced was the Wright Model H (1914), which had an enclosed fuselage and longer wings to allow heavier payloads to be carried. The similar Model HS aircraft had shorter wings. This photograph was published on 26 March 1915 by the Bain News Service, one of the USA's earliest news picture libraries.
