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! Painius |
