On December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright soared into history during a twelvesecond flight on a secluded North Carolina beach. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first flight, these essays chart the central role that aviation played in twentiethcentury history and capture the spirit of innovation and adventure that has characterized the history of flight.The contributors, all leading aerospace historians, consider four broad themes relating to the development of flight technology: innovation and the technology of flight, civil aeronautics and government policy, aerial warfare, and aviation in the American imagination. Through their attention to the political, economic, military, and cultural history of flight, the authors establish that the Wrights' inventionand all that followed in both air and spacewas one of the most significant technologies of the twentieth century, fundamentally reshaping our world.Supported by the First Flight Centennial CommissionThe contributors are Janet R. Daly Bednarek, Tami Davis Biddle, Roger E. Bilstein, HansJoachim Braun, David T. Courtwright, Anne Collins Goodyear, Roger D. Launius, William M. Leary, David D. Lee, W. David Lewis, John H. Morrow, Dominick A. Pisano, and A. Timothy Warnock.
