Popular Science, March 1904: "Too much praise cannot be given to these gentlemen. Being accomplished mechanics, they designed and built the apparatus, applying thereto a new and effective mode of control of their own. They learned its use at considerable personal risk of accident. They planned and built the motor, having found none in the market deemed suitable. They evolved a novel and superior form of propeller; and all this was done with their own hands, without financial help from anybody."



—From an article celebrating the December 17, 1903, Wright flight at Kitty Hawk





Here comes the second century of flight.
