Artifact Overview
Following their successful flights at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, in December 1903, the Wright brothers made further test flights closer to home. They flew at Huffman Prairie, an open field some eight miles northeast of their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. The Wrights devised a catapult system to help launch their airplanes in the field's comparatively calm winds.
