Wrights Pre Kitty Hawk Flight Seen By Ohio Farmer
W. A. Masters, 78, recalls seeing Orville and Wilbur Wright fly a short distance near Dayton in summer 1903, months before the Wrights’ first official flights at Kitty Hawk. He says the plane rose and landed easily and that one brother may have pushed it off the ground. The memory ties to the upcoming 50th anniversary of powered flight. Masters, from Stockton, Ohio, now lives in Albuquerque, and a Kirtland AFB officer offered a jet ride for the anniversary.
