National Geographic Society, Those Inventive Americans, 1971
The Wright brothers have a moment when a gust of wind interrupts a glider takeoff in 1911. No real damage, the next day Orville piloted the craft to a record breaking 9 3/4 minute soaring flight. The record lasted 10 years.
An unknown fact about the Wright Brothers is they had toyed with the idea of starting a ladder company before getting into making aircraft, as seen with this photo.
