Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have flown beside Wilbur Wright in that VERY FIRST airplane?
Well, wonder no longer!!!
Thanks to a group of German documentarians in 1909, and some modern film archivists, this PRICELESS piece of film has been discovered and restored.
Go here to witness, FIRST HAND, a cockpit view of flying in the Wright airplane!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, one and all!
To the filmographers, who took the movie in the first place;
to the people who carefully preserved it through all these years and at least two devastating world conflicts;
to the dedicated technicians who have restored it and posted it so that everyone, everywhere can enjoy it and benefit;
THANK YOU!
