The invention of the aiplane by Wilbur and Orille Wright is one of the great stories in human history. Since time immemorial, man had wanted to fly. Mankind couldn't achieve in a thousand years what two modest brothers of Dayton, Ohio accomplished.
The story of the Wright Brothers is about the creation of a world changing technology at the opening of an exciting new century, an era full of promise and confidence in the future. At the center of the tale are two talented, yet modest, Midwestern bicycle shop proprietors, whose inventive labors and achievement transformed them from respected small town businessmen into international celebrities. 
The influence of their invention on the 20th century is beyond measure. The transport by air of goods and people, quickly and over great distances, and the military applications of flight technology, have had global economic, geopolitical,and cultural impact.
