The Wright Brothers and their aircraft

Wilbur Wright
Orville Wright

The Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were the first men to invent and fly an aircraft. Their flying machine was unique because they could control it while flying, something that others could not achieve. A decade and a bit after their invention, World War I began and somehow, from the primitive Wright Flyer, aircraft has become sophisticated enough to fight and drop bombs. A huge leap in terms of the time, which was only 11 years. For more information, check out this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Brothers
