Today we hardly notice jets racing across the sky. We pass by airports without a second thought.
For most people, flying is the fastest, easiest, and sometimes the cheapest way to travel. But just over 100 years ago, anybody who talked about people flying in machines was considered weird or crazy. Most people thought flying machines were a fantasy. But not Orville and Wilbur Wright.

They were a great team, and they succeeded where everyone else had failed.
