Default D.Y.K? -- Wright Brothers

My mind is roving tonight. Came across this while
traveling through time...

Did you know?

When the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, offered
to the United States Army their airplane that launched
powered flight in 1903, Army officals were so skeptical
of the Wrights' claim that they refused to see a flight
demonstration until 1908!

Record-breaking flights by Orville in the U.S. and by
Wilbur in France brought the brothers worldwide fame.
In 1909, the U.S. government accepted the Wrights'
flying machine for army use.

Is your mind roving, too?

--
happy days and...
starry starry nights!
