Thanks for the link Keith. :) I can highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the Wright brothers and their experiments with powered flight. http://www.amazon.com/Wind-Sand-Story-W ... 0810909189
The Wright's were definitely, what we would today call, geeks. :lol: They were very methodical, scientific, and they photographed everything. I purchased this book when it first came out and it's one of my very few books that I will not part with for anything. :agree:

Thanks Keith! Of course the Wright Brothers would not recognize Kitty Hawk / Kill Devil Hills now - Very built up and developed. Have been there many times on holiday and I took my daughter for her very first flight from the First Flight airport (KFFA) which is very close to where the Wright Brothers flight occured.
