Aerodrome vs Wright Flyer


Interesting footnotes for this video:  Wilbur Wright died of typhoid in May 1912, and therefore could not have been outraged at the 1914 flight.

Interesting that the Smithsonian was interested in putting the first in flight label only on a plane it owned, so it was not willing to declare that for the Wright Flyer until it was donated to the museum in 1948.
