Note 14 — XVII IN AVIATION BUSINESS

From Wright Hill, near Dayton, on which there is a memorial monument, one has a view of the great government aviation center of Wright and Patterson fields, the latter of which includes the Huffman tract. The monument bears the legend: “In Commemoration of the Courage, Perseverance and Achievements of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Through Original Research the Wright Brothers Acquired Scientific Knowledge and Developed Theories of Aerodynamics which with their Invention of Aileron Control Enabled Them in 1903 to Build and Fly at Kitty Hawk the First Power-Driven, Man-Carrying Aeroplane Capable of Flight. Their Further Development of the Aeroplane Gave it a Capacity for Service which Established Aviation as one of the Great Forward Steps in Human Progress. As Scientists Wilbur and Orville Wright Discovered the Secret of Flight. As Inventors, Builders and Flyers, they Brought Aviation to the World.”
