The Wright brothers’ aeroplane made two flights at Fort Myer before the motor failed during the ninth run. The machine glided to earth striking a tree, tearing the right wing and breaking the skids. Orville Wright blamed a miscalculation and said the aircraft would be repaired with Dayton cloth and not ready to fly before Tuesday.
