Wilbur And Orville Wright (1909)
The Wright Brothers consisted of Orville (1871 – 1948) and Wilbur (1867 – 1912), who would successfully launch and maintain the initial plane’s flight. At Kitty Hawk, NC, on December 17, 1903, the brothers pulled off what many had struggled to do so for years, successfully landing a fueled aircraft. During the height of World War II, Orville was questioned on his opinion of the current developments in aircraft technology in 1943 by the St. Louis Post Dispatch: “We had invented something that would bring peace to the world. But we were so wrong about this. We underestimated the capacity of man to corrupt and to hate good always means for an evil end… I don’t have any regrets about this part in the invention of the plane , though no one in this earth could deplore more than I the destruction it has caused.”
