My Grandfather was twelve years old when this was filmed. He learned how to fly right after WW1. He flew most everything the military had by the time he retired from the Air Force in 1951. He flew the proto type#1 of the P-26 Peashooter, he flew the first glider to ever fly in Hawaii. He lived to be 103 years old, 1896-1999. He wrote a book, 'From Jenny's to Jets, ' an amazing life. Flew B-17's and B-26'es during WW2. (Pelermo oil refinery bombing raids) Sharp as a tack at 103, he just didnt wake up one morning. God bless you Pop Pop.
My grandfather was born in 1906. It is amazing all the things that generation witnessed. He died accidentally at 93. From that side of the family we had five generations alive from 1949 to 1958. The oldest was born in 1858

yeah, my grandfather was born in 1889. He saw it all, it was pretty amazing to think of all the changes that occurred in his lifetime. Radio, Telephone, TV, first flight, jet, rocket etc...
@killer rock guitar True, an amazing time to live. He would have passed away just as the internet and mobile phones were beginning to take off. Those 2 are equally, if not more profound in changing the fabric of society as any invention before them.

You got me thinking on your comment bullpucky along with the smart phone comment made by another person. So If you were 10 years old in 1903 you could have seen the first flight to man landing on the moon. That's a lot to get to experience in the history of flight.

This almost brought tears to my eyes to see this. The relentless effort by these brothers. They never gave up and risked everything. Truly incredible!!
Can anyone even imagine what it was like to actually be there at that moment and witnessing it first hand? Think about it. Just to be able to say, "I was there the moment the world changed forever."
This is happening all the time on RUclips now- it's a disgrace. If they are intending to advertise the channel providing the video, then I'm afraid they have made a serious mistake because there is no point in watching movies withe the endings ruined.
Almost exactly 10 years later Alcock and Brown flew from Newfoundland to Ireland ( June 1919 ) Amazing development from the aircraft that Orville Wright flew that day ( July 1909 )
The first flight by Wright brothers was 1903, and only lasted a few seconds. This flight happened a few years later (1909), and was done to show the use of an airplane in the military. It was in 1911 that the first airplane was used--in World War 1. It's a little depressing that it took two decades for pilots thought to use airplanes for something more beneficial to mankind: crop dusting!
I had an uncle who lived to be 103 years of age. he was SIX when this took place That man could tell stories but stuf we only read about in history books Miss that man RIP uncle Verlin
.. first flight ever : Charles Frederick Page, first helicopter ever : Paul Leo Ortego !!! The wright brothers, are, liars ! ( ECCLESIASTICUS ) 20 : 24..

A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie : but they both shall have destruction to heritage...
Excellent video. Run it at .75 speed and suddenly the footage looks much more real, rather than suffering from the more common the sped up vintage look. Very cool footage, amazing. Thanks for posting it.
The hand cranked cameras of the day averaged about 10 frames per second so that would be about the right amount to speed it up. You need at least 16 to 18 fps minimum for persistance of vision and to avoid flickering.
Imagine actually being there in 1909 and running right up to a large crowd who is there watching the plane land for the first time and you stick a big advertisement sign right in their face so they cannot see the LANDING! Imagine their surprise!
Imagine as clunky as this plane was, in just five years, planes would become reliable enough to take to the air and kill each other at will, now that's progress!
Not sure of the truth of this but the surviving Wright brother on seeing the use that airplanes were put to in War is reputed to have said "If we'd known we wouldn't have bothered."
@martin joseph Oh - the Krauts and Frogs placed those tri-corner reflectors on the moon's surface? If it weren't for the jealous foreign cunts on here saying otherwise I could have SWORN us Americans, did that.
Must have been hard to land when those boxes of suggested videos popped up out of nowhere just in time to ruin the landing. Orville and Wilbur were amazing pilots.
They needed a taller tower and longer ramp but it got them airborne, they were definitely thinking many decades ahead of their time with the catapult launch.
@@WaybackRewind exactly that's the only reason I'm watching this I'm flipping through the comments I know that they're here they talked about the guy from Brazil and one from France
@@WaybackRewind and @skyedog24 Do a little research fellas... There were a lot of people trying to fly at the turn of the century. It is very likely that someone else did it first, but failed to document the feat. That the Wright brothers documented their efforts so thoroughly is a testament to this. Starting with their first trip to Kitty Hawk in 1900, they kept detailed journals, sent telegrams, had their father notify the newspapers, and of course, took hundreds of photographs (they were quite adept amateur photographers) Moral of the story: If you want to make it into the history books.... Document your work.
@@James-re6co true and also by 1909 the Wright flier was literally flying circles around other planes at the time. Other may have barely made it into the air earlier but their design was far superior. Langley's airplane is a joke compared to theirs.
I cannot tell a lie. I liked the ad at the end so much I got out my credit card and called them immediately. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the sales pitch. How did we ever live before in-your-face ads 😂
@tiluu no, it's a way to attract consumers attention to purchase their products. That is the purpose of an advertisement. Not all products are necessarily bad.
If you are on phone you can just exit full screen and have it to where you can see the comments and then just put your finger on the video and slightly scroll it down
This must have been an incredible sight for everyone there. Just a few years earlier nobody believed it was possible to fly like this. Amazing work by the Wright brothers.
Not that great. When the title of the video said "Military Aircraft," I didn't see one 30mm ADEN Mk 4 mounted anywhere. Such a let down... thumbs down, unsubscribed...
Actually, if you take a look at the crowd, there didn't seem to be much interest. Right after take off, dozens of people can be seen walking away and not bothering to look at the flying airplane at all... 1909 was a full six years after the Wright brother's first flight, and a handful of people around the world had demonstrated their own flying inventions (Santos Dumont, Louis Bleriot, Henri Farman, etc.) so the concept of an airplane was no longer a novelty...
Now we are enjoying what people sacrifice their lives for, I'll forever be grateful for God's wisdom for special people to make life easier for our generation, Respect!
Imagine if that were today “ um your going to have to apply for a permit to build that and we don’t think your qualified to operate it and where are all your hard hats and fire extinguishers “
"FIRST AVIATION RECORD OF THE WORLD". This is the first FAI record, signed by Ernest Archdeacon and IMMORTALIZED at a monument in Paris in Paris for Santos Dumont. The first record for the Wrights was made in 1908. In fact, For the wright There is only an eighth place among the pioneers of motorized flight.
That's what I was thinking too! Like how could they look down or walk away while humanity tool one big step forward? Were they critics or are we missing something big? What was going on in there minds? What would have impressed them if these did not? I feel like science people at that time just before the world wars were incredibly bright and wise with incredible knowledge ready for the next great technological revolution after the industrial revolution. I just feel all that went to waste after almost everything was obliterated in the wars. Society was set back by thousands of years.
@@frencusmcguire8547 huh? Wars are bad for many reasons but they do accelerate science and technology, radar, sonar, advanced flight, space rockets, computers, all came out of WW2 and WW1 did the preparations
These were the people that saw the plane fly many times before. They were likely crew or press. Like with the moon and shuttle launches it's less exciting each time
I grew up less than a mile from where Wilbur Wright was born. Their house is now a museum, and has a model of the original plane, and a modern jet fighter for comparison. It's a very cool place to visit.
I read a book about these brothers, but I didn't know that the flights were captured on film. People have long dreamed of flying, and the dream has come true.
Kudos to the Wright brothers. What never gets mentioned is that much of the theoretical principle of flight which the brothers studied were all worked out by an obscure British aristocrat in Yorkshire England. The sixth baronet of Brompton, Cayley was born in 1773. He actually built a glider which successfully flew a full fifty years before the Wright brothers.
@@_________. Sorry old boy, as a Class Rated Examiner, let me assure you that a glider most certainly is classified as an Aircraft. It is all enumerated under the Rules of the Air. Go look it up.
@@_________. Whatever you say. As a PS take a little time time to watch a bird in flight. There will be periods when if is not flapping its wings. It is gliding, but it is still flying. Open your eyes, open your mind.
It’s still pretty insane that a decent chunk of these people got to witness some of the first flights in an airplane and the first time man walked on the moon within their lifetimes.
My dad 1923-2018. First TV, handheld calculator, microwave, personal computer, autonomous drones, and the internet. We even have video of him driving my electric car, and playing a VR game with my son. Just amazing.
Unfortunately, most of them may not able to afford airfare at that time, just we couldn't afford flight to outer space average people like myself now 😀

Man never landed on the Moon. It was all staged to make the world believe they were walking on the Moon. It was proven the Van Allen Belt was too dangerous to penetrate without a high dose of deadly radiation. Remember, in 67-68 they sent Monkey through the Belt and on return the Monkeys were sick and perished. To this day and age you still thinks men walked on the Moon? Do you know who much fuel that Module would have needed to just blast off from the Moon on return to earth? Even the supposedly Chinese Moon landing have been done unmanned. You can sent a craft and land in the Moon, like the Mars landings, but you can't sent a man in flesh and bones. They have to find ways to break through the Belt first.
@@mickcarson8504 how do you think that radiation is contained? Just use a plate made out of platinum, tungsten or lead and its done so I dont understand your nonsense
My Grandfather was born on August 23, 1909. He passed on October 14, 1991. I loved sitting down and listening to him tell me stories about growing up back then.
These brothers were geniuses when you think of the era they were in! The onlookers would have been blown away! Just imagine what they would think if they were able to see the planes of today.
@Roberto ximangobom this is third time you bring this up. What is your problem with 1903 to1907? Filming something was rare, not like today with everyone with a cellphone. Is there actual video of Thomas Edison's first light bulb illuminated inventing the light bulb? Do you believe of the Moon landing actually happened in 1969 or was it done on a sound stage in Hollywood? Have a little fate that did happen as recorded. Either that or invent a time machine but may sure you have video and creditable witnesses., if there is such a person.
I think it’s so interesting that the film industry was coming about at the same time that the airplane and the automobile were also coming about for the first time. It seems there was an explosion of ideas at the time and luckily we are able to see it. Awesome innovation on three levels at the same time!
Love the Wright Brothers. This film is great but it’s not the first flight. The first flight was done in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17th, 1903. There were only pictures taken on this day. The flights in the film where taken in 1909 at Fort Myer Virginia for Army trials to see if military would purchase rights to the plane for military use. The more you learn about these guys the more interesting they become. Wilbur died in 1912 two weeks before the Titanic tragedy from eating tainted oysters. Orville died in 1947 seeing the beginnings of the jet age. God Bless them. Their story embodies the true American story of hard work, determination and problem solving to realize a dream which had fascinated humanity for thousands of years.
Greatest engineers of all time. Designed and built their own engines, first aluminum engine ever made. Invented propeller theory that we still use today. Invented incredible wind tunnel force measurement system.
Amazing boldness of two inventors' first success in aircraft technology. From an open kite like biplane to what we have today, this was a great start. Admiration and respect to the Wright brothers, the founding fathers of modern aviation. Thanks.

I had an old woman, in Dayton Ohio, tell me a story in the early 1990s. Her and another little girl ( early in 1903 ) were walking home from school, through the alley behind the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop. Word was out that the Wright brothers were trying to build a flying machine. Like a couple of ornery kids, they put a milk crate under the back window of the bike shop and stood on it, shouting through the opening, " CRAZY MEN...CRAZY MEN ". She said her and her friend jumped down and ran off up the alley, laughing all the way home. She finished the story with a happy twinkle in her eye and a big smile, proud of herself.

Humanity owes all its progress in aviation to these remarkable brothers! It would be no exaggeration to say this humble attempt paved way for all modern spacecrafts launched today to explore space! Humanity salutes these brothers! May they RIP!
The moment it took off it gave me goosebumps. I cant fathom the effort and determination of this people. Thankful to them without them how will we be able to go to different parts of the world in an easier and safer way.
Did you not know about the use of catapults to be able to take off? Anatole de france, historian, noted that the wright brothers in 1909 were still reliant on catapults!!! Dumont had since 1906 FIRST AVIATION RECORD OF THE WORLD, for him registered with the FAI in inscribed this title on a monument in Paris since 1910!!!!!
To put it in perspective… most of you are seeing this on your phones / computers… 100 years later…. Or so. Who would have ever thought? Enjoyed very much. This was incredible and changed the world.
Then...."If man were meant to fly, God would have given him wings." Today......"If man were meant to have a flying car, God would would have taken away all the roads, the lawyers n' built George Jetson houses "
My nan was a year old when this flight happened. First got on a plane in the 70s. She went from having hardly any cars on the road to aircraft flying in the sky to man walkingon the moon. What a life experience. Oh and she lived throught two world wars.
I think that the achievement of the Wright Brothers was the most stunning of the 20th Century. Two guys with high school educations built the world's first powered, controllable airplane in their workshop in Dayton, Ohio. A mechanic named Charlie Taylor made the engine out of lightweight aluminum. It's like a two-bowl, hash dream; yet, it was real. Look where we are 100 years later. Sir Richard Branson just boosted himself and a few employees 50 miles high & tomorrow, Jeff Bezos will rocket out into space.
O vôo do vídeo foi e de 1908 na França! Quem mudou o mundo foi Santos Dumont com o seu 14 bis em 1906 e seu modelo demoselle de 1907. Como os Wright mudaram o mundo se voaram só em 1908 com motor francês e ainda dependendo de catapulta?
Read "The War of the Worlds," by H. G. Wells, published in 1898. Spoiler: back then, the ability to fly was apparently seen as the pinnacle of technological achievement.
So proud to have been born in the state that helped so much to bring us light (Edison), flight (the Wright brothers), the first American in space (Glenn) and the first man on the moon (Armstrong), just to name a few of Ohio's favorite sons.
Jeremiah 17:5 New Living Translation 5 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.
Fun Fact: Wright military flyer speed 40mph in 1909 Fastest jet aircraft in world is the SR-71 Blackbird at 2,100 mph What a difference in a little over 100 yrs. Astonishing.
This machine is not the flyer 1,2 or three. It is the model A flyer. In 1907 they sought the description of the DUMONT'S machine and managed The description of Farman's machine from January 1908. Don't you think it's strange that the Wright's ability to fly between 1903-1905 was never proven? Where are the official documents? Did we lack time to call the United States the greatest aeronautical authority of the time THE PARIS AEROCLUBE founded in 1898 !!!
It's amazing to witness the birth of aviation. Actually the first successful flight was 1903. In just 5 short years the airplane was going to be used in aerial dogfights over the skies of Europe between the French, Germans and British. 60 years after this flight men were walking on the moon. Aviation made ASTOUNDING advancements in just one lifetime. A baby born in 1900 could've witnessed this flight as a boy and as a senior citizen witnessed the first man walking on the moon in 1969. Amazing!
Congrats to Will and Orv. They tested all their designs, they flew them and did this with primitive tech. They are my fave American heroes. They made they first large size aluminum engine. They show genius and guts. PBS had a multi part series about them.
Crikey, they made their own airframes AND engines AND propellers... just how big were their baw... err, brains? That's enough "man-points" for several lifetimes!
My grandfather was 9 years old at the time of this flight. But when he was in basic training 1918 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma he took a tiny black and white picture and included it in his photo album of a biplane flying above. He wrote under the picture, "An airplane in the air." For a soldier boy from the hills of Vermont in 1918, that was something to write home about.
I find it amazing that some of the people would even take their eyes off the plane for a moment . Innovation like that is something we do not have anymore.
Back in Florida, a little more than a month ago, I finally witnessed something I really hope to see. A rocket launch! I saw it by accident while sitting in my rental car in a Publix Supermarket parking lot. I was amazed to see the rocket going upward with engines blazing, and leaving a corkscrew contrail etched in the sky. Then came the rumble from the engine like a gentle but irrepressible wave that washed over me. At this point I glanced around the parking area and noticed that the locals didn't even look up. Even the sound from the rocket didn't appear to register with anyone. It was old news to people who lived there. That's why nobody seems to be getting too excited about the Wright Brothers flight in this video.
Could you imagine living your whole entire life and only ever seeing birds fly, yet you cruise up to see two quirky brothers trying to do just that, fly like the birds! 😱 🦅 ✈️
@@chipnormandy4537 Where did you hear that propaganda from? I would like to see any proof or evidence to your claim, never ever make a statement without backing it up with irrefutable evidence.
@@ZENMASTERME1 what's even more disappointing than the lies about Wilbur and Orville is the incredible lack of intelligence from the commentators here who parrot everything they've heard or read others say or written, without doing their own investigating. Hitler said the jews were horrible people and they must die, and all of Europe went along with it. It's the same scenario here: Someone wrote it or said it so it must be exactly as they said it is and no need to research for yourself. SMH. 😑
@@chipnormandy4537 First off the Wright brothers did it three years before Dumont, there was no big cover-up, because the amount of spectators, video footage archives, and paper articles of their historical flight that within 24 hours was written about in nearly every country around the world in 1903. I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but I would sure like for you to present evidence to your claims. Alberto Santos-Dumont achieved the first officially observed powered European flight on October 23, 1906, in France. By flying nearly 200 feet in the “14-bis,” he won the Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize of 3,000 francs for surpassing 25 meters (about 80 feet). On November 12, 1906, he improved upon this performance by flying 722 feet in 21 seconds and won the Aero-Club de France prize of 1,500 francs for the first flight of at least 100 meters (240 feet). This flight fell three years and 150 feet short of what the Wright brothers accomplished in 1903 at Kitty Hawk.
Just got back from Thanksgiving at Kitty Hawk and listened to David McCullough's audio CD on the Wright Brothers. Very humbling to stand there where it all began. This video is almost a year after Orville crashed during demonstrations at Ft Myer due to a cracked propeller and was seriously hurt. His passenger, Lt. Selfridge, was killed - the first aircraft fatality. Little known is that President Roosevelt could have been in the passenger seat a few days earlier but high winds postponed any flying. Orville felt he could not refuse if asked by Roosevelt but believed it was too risky.
Obrigado por aceitar os voos deles para 1908, este foi em julho o primeiro vôo mesmo foi maio de 1908, sem corrida e decolagem, não conseguiam fazer isto e foi só 337 metros, jogaram de cima de uma duna de areia e em 1907 haviam buscado a planta do 14 bis com Ferber em Paris e trouxeram dois motores de lá. Os voos de 1903-1905 nunca foi possível provar

An honor? 🙄
Great footage why did you have to ruin the ending I didn’t get to see the landing because of the advertisements😢
This is happening all the time on RUclips now- it's a disgrace. If they are intending to advertise the channel providing the video, then I'm afraid they have made a serious mistake because there is no point in watching movies withe the endings ruined.
actually it ends before touchdown
One solution might be to add a few seconds of “dead air” at the end to accommodate any ads.
nice video, probably the only filming about that historic event, it also becomes evident that MCAS worked fine, no nose-diving tendency detected
The ads can be removed, just search Google or RUclips.
Almost exactly 10 years later Alcock and Brown flew from Newfoundland to Ireland ( June 1919 ) Amazing development from the aircraft that Orville Wright flew that day ( July 1909 )
1974 the sr71 flew across the Atlantic in under two hours at 3400mph
Santos Dumont First!!
The first flight by Wright brothers was 1903, and only lasted a few seconds. This flight happened a few years later (1909), and was done to show the use of an airplane in the military. It was in 1911 that the first airplane was used--in World War 1. It's a little depressing that it took two decades for pilots thought to use airplanes for something more beneficial to mankind: crop dusting!

Excellent video. Run it at .75 speed and suddenly the footage looks much more real, rather than suffering from the more common the sped up vintage look. Very cool footage, amazing. Thanks for posting it.
petcatznz
Cool tip. It does look more realistic.
The hand cranked cameras of the day averaged about 10 frames per second so that would be about the right amount to speed it up. You need at least 16 to 18 fps minimum for persistance of vision and to avoid flickering.
Imagine actually being there in 1909 and running right up to a large crowd who is there watching the plane land for the first time and you stick a big advertisement sign right in their face so they cannot see the LANDING! Imagine their surprise!

no that is promotion of technology, progress is other concept
Wow ancient drones. Must be alien technology.
Not sure of the truth of this but the surviving Wright brother on seeing the use that airplanes were put to in War is reputed to have said "If we'd known we wouldn't have bothered."
I don't know about "reliable". More WWI pilots and trainees died due to accident then by being shot down.
We are truly lucky to see this on film, thank you.

Sixty years later-on the MOON!
@martin joseph Oh - the Krauts and Frogs placed those tri-corner reflectors on the moon's surface? If it weren't for the jealous foreign cunts on here saying otherwise I could have SWORN us Americans, did that.
The Wright brothers couldn't fly on the moon: The density altitude is too high.
and 60 years after that living and working in space we have come a long way since Kittyhawk now we are going to live on the moon.
@@geomodelrailroader actually companies into space exploration are looking at Mars
@@frankw3217 that too Moon possibly.
Must have been hard to land when those boxes of suggested videos popped up out of nowhere just in time to ruin the landing. Orville and Wilbur were amazing pilots.
Apparently they also invented catapult launches for Aircraft Carriers, but didnt realize it!!
I thought that too, when I saw the video.
Yha all they needed was a ship
That's what I was thinking good call
True!
They needed a taller tower and longer ramp but it got them airborne, they were definitely thinking many decades ahead of their time with the catapult launch.
They way that craft slides through its turns is a thing of beauty. It’s hard to believe how far ahead these guys were from anyone else at the time.
And yet random people will still argue they weren't the first
@@WaybackRewind exactly that's the only reason I'm watching this I'm flipping through the comments I know that they're here they talked about the guy from Brazil and one from France
There was another French guy who had come up with the same concept, but the Wright Brothers were the ones to patent it and bring it to fruition.
@@WaybackRewind and @skyedog24 Do a little research fellas... There were a lot of people trying to fly at the turn of the century. It is very likely that someone else did it first, but failed to document the feat. That the Wright brothers documented their efforts so thoroughly is a testament to this. Starting with their first trip to Kitty Hawk in 1900, they kept detailed journals, sent telegrams, had their father notify the newspapers, and of course, took hundreds of photographs (they were quite adept amateur photographers)
Moral of the story: If you want to make it into the history books.... Document your work.
@@James-re6co true and also by 1909 the Wright flier was literally flying circles around other planes at the time. Other may have barely made it into the air earlier but their design was far superior. Langley's airplane is a joke compared to theirs.
I cannot tell a lie. I liked the ad at the end so much I got out my credit card and called them immediately. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the sales pitch. How did we ever live before in-your-face ads 😂

@tiluu no, it's a way to attract consumers attention to purchase their products. That is the purpose of an advertisement. Not all products are necessarily bad.
I am also a great fan of sarcasm..
I certainly hate ads. There are way too many. Its like a never ending brain cancer. 🙄
I waited 110 years to see the landing of one of the most important flight in history, and you cover it up with Ads, no thumbs up for you buddy. : (
If you are on phone you can just exit full screen and have it to where you can see the comments and then just put your finger on the video and slightly scroll it down
This must have been an incredible sight for everyone there. Just a few years earlier nobody believed it was possible to fly like this. Amazing work by the Wright brothers.
Not that great. When the title of the video said "Military Aircraft," I didn't see one 30mm ADEN Mk 4 mounted anywhere. Such a let down... thumbs down, unsubscribed...
Instant transition from the cowboy days to the aerospace era.
Actually, if you take a look at the crowd, there didn't seem to be much interest. Right after take off, dozens of people can be seen walking away and not bothering to look at the flying airplane at all... 1909 was a full six years after the Wright brother's first flight, and a handful of people around the world had demonstrated their own flying inventions (Santos Dumont, Louis Bleriot, Henri Farman, etc.) so the concept of an airplane was no longer a novelty...

That's what I was thinking too! Like how could they look down or walk away while humanity tool one big step forward? Were they critics or are we missing something big? What was going on in there minds? What would have impressed them if these did not?

I read a book about these brothers, but I didn't know that the flights were captured on film. People have long dreamed of flying, and the dream has come true.
yes just lucky that the camera had also been invented.
Kudos to the Wright brothers. What never gets mentioned is that much of the theoretical principle of flight which the brothers studied were all worked out by an obscure British aristocrat in Yorkshire England. The sixth baronet of Brompton, Cayley was born in 1773. He actually built a glider which successfully flew a full fifty years before the Wright brothers.
A glider is not a plane. He did not fly, he glided.
@@_________. Sorry old boy, as a Class Rated Examiner, let me assure you that a glider most certainly is classified as an Aircraft. It is all enumerated under the Rules of the Air. Go look it up.
@@tomarmstrong1281 it does not matter what it’s classified as. Gliding is not flying.

Man never landed on the Moon. It was all staged to make the world believe they were walking on the Moon. It was proven the Van Allen Belt was too dangerous to penetrate without a high dose of deadly radiation.
Remember, in 67-68 they sent Monkey through the Belt and on return the Monkeys were sick and perished. To this day and age you still thinks men walked on the Moon?
Do you know who much fuel that Module would have needed to just blast off from the Moon on return to earth?
Even the supposedly Chinese Moon landing have been done unmanned.
You can sent a craft and land in the Moon, like the Mars landings, but you can't sent a man in flesh and bones. They have to find ways to break through the Belt first.

Do you believe of the Moon landing actually happened in 1969 or was it done on a sound stage in Hollywood? Have a little fate that did happen as recorded. Either that or invent a time machine but may sure you have video and creditable witnesses., if there is such a person.
I think it’s so interesting that the film industry was coming about at the same time that the airplane and the automobile were also coming about for the first time. It seems there was an explosion of ideas at the time and luckily we are able to see it. Awesome innovation on three levels at the same time!
Love the Wright Brothers. This film is great but it’s not the first flight. The first flight was done in Kitty Hawk, NC on December 17th, 1903. There were only pictures taken on this day. The flights in the film where taken in 1909 at Fort Myer Virginia for Army trials to see if military would purchase rights to the plane for military use. The more you learn about these guys the more interesting they become. Wilbur died in 1912 two weeks before the Titanic tragedy from eating tainted oysters. Orville died in 1947 seeing the beginnings of the jet age. God Bless them. Their story embodies the true American story of hard work, determination and problem solving to realize a dream which had fascinated humanity for thousands of years.
Greatest engineers of all time. Designed and built their own engines, first aluminum engine ever made. Invented propeller theory that we still use today. Invented incredible wind tunnel force measurement system.

I had an old woman, in Dayton Ohio, tell me a story in the early 1990s. Her and another little girl ( early in 1903 ) were walking home from school, through the alley behind the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop. Word was out that the Wright brothers were trying to build a flying machine. Like a couple of ornery kids, they put a milk crate under the back window of the bike shop and stood on it, shouting through the opening, " CRAZY MEN...CRAZY MEN ". She said her and her friend jumped down and ran off up the alley, laughing all the way home. She finished the story with a happy twinkle in her eye and a big smile, proud of herself.

I think that the achievement of the Wright Brothers was the most stunning of the 20th Century. Two guys with high school educations built the world's first powered, controllable airplane in their workshop in Dayton, Ohio.

This machine is not the flyer 1,2 or three. It is the model A flyer. In 1907 they sought the description of the DUMONT'S machine and managed The description of Farman's machine from January 1908. Don't you think it's strange that the Wright's ability to fly between 1903-1905 was never proven? Where are the official documents? Did we lack time to call the United States the greatest aeronautical authority of the time THE PARIS AEROCLUBE founded in 1898 !!!
It's amazing to witness the birth of aviation. Actually the first successful flight was 1903. In just 5 short years the airplane was going to be used in aerial dogfights over the skies of Europe between the French, Germans and British. 60 years after this flight men were walking on the moon. Aviation made ASTOUNDING advancements in just one lifetime. A baby born in 1900 could've witnessed this flight as a boy and as a senior citizen witnessed the first man walking on the moon in 1969. Amazing!
This video was #1 on RUclips trending back in 1909! I remember watching it the very first time. Now there is so many reuploads including this one

My grandfather was 9 years old at the time of this flight. But when he was in basic training 1918 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma he took a tiny black and
white picture and included it in his photo album of a biplane flying above. He wrote under the picture, "An airplane in the air." For a soldier boy
from the hills of Vermont in 1918, that was something to write home about.
They didn’t even put on a helmet, now that’s confident:)
Just 10 years after this a plane managed to cross the Atlantic ocean.
To think how rapidly technology advanced from 1900 to 2000
I find it amazing that some of the people would even take their eyes off the plane for a moment . Innovation like that is something we do not have anymore.
Back in Florida, a little more than a month ago, I finally witnessed something I really hope to see. A rocket launch! I saw it by accident while sitting in my rental car in a Publix Supermarket parking lot. I was amazed to see the rocket going upward with engines blazing, and leaving a corkscrew contrail etched in the sky. Then came the rumble from the engine like a gentle but irrepressible wave that washed over me. At this point I glanced around the parking area and noticed that the locals didn't even look up. Even the sound from the rocket didn't appear to register with anyone. It was old news to people who lived there. That's why nobody seems to be getting too excited about the Wright Brothers flight in this video.

Alberto Santos-Dumont achieved the first officially observed powered European flight on October 23, 1906, in France. By flying nearly 200 feet in the “14-bis,” he won the Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize of 3,000 francs for surpassing 25 meters (about 80 feet). On November 12, 1906, he improved upon this performance by flying 722 feet in 21 seconds and won the Aero-Club de France prize of 1,500 francs for the first flight of at least 100 meters (240 feet). This flight fell three years and 150 feet short of what the Wright brothers accomplished in 1903 at Kitty Hawk.
@@ZENMASTERME1 I'm not going to read your Dear John letter. Please attach citations to all of your claims.
Imagine the joy the people have when it first went on air
The centennial did proof!! Wright brothers did fly never between 1903-1905!!
Was 1908!!! The brothers never PRESENTED planes between 1903-1907!!! Where is the plane before Dumont!!! please!!
@@gabrielopensador807 in the smithsonian
Man's dream achieved,
Flying like a bird ,proud of him
It has never been proven that this machine actually flew between 1903-1905!! Forget it, wright Bros lied a lot.
Just got back from Thanksgiving at Kitty Hawk and listened to David McCullough's audio CD on the Wright Brothers. Very humbling to stand there where it all began. This video is almost a year after Orville crashed during demonstrations at Ft Myer due to a cracked propeller and was seriously hurt. His passenger, Lt. Selfridge, was killed - the first aircraft fatality. Little known is that President Roosevelt could have been in the passenger seat a few days earlier but high winds postponed any flying. Orville felt he could not refuse if asked by Roosevelt but believed it was too risky.
Teddy would do that thing!
*Ohh my god, cameras were invented before the plane.* That's amazing
Imagine if they could see what the world has been able to achieve today
I was thinking about the same thing.
What’s to say they didn’t ,
Have you heard of Reincarnation
Obrigado por aceitar os voos deles para 1908, este foi em julho o primeiro vôo mesmo foi maio de 1908, sem corrida e decolagem, não conseguiam fazer isto e foi só 337 metros, jogaram de cima de uma duna de areia e em 1907 haviam buscado a planta do 14 bis com Ferber em Paris e trouxeram dois motores de lá. Os voos de 1903-1905 nunca foi possível provar
These guys had nerves to get in that contraption!
John g my thoughts exactly its got 'Final Destination' written all over it! It must have been truly amazing at that time as they only had balloons and airships.
Was there cocktail service on this flight?
@@frankw3217 Indeed! Where is my sub-par mashed potatoes!
I guess they had never heard of anybody getting killed in a flying machine before? 🤔 So who's to be scared? 😂
@@016162877 lots of flyers at that time but they can only move forward like Santos Dumont, Wright brothers successfully control the three axis that is why they are the inventor of airplane
That was quite a treat, thank you.
Imagine the adrenaline rush they had doing this back then. Remarkable
For people who cannot see the landing part I have a tip for them just turn off your rotation and hold the video and drag it down a bit
And sorry for my English hope you guys understood what I was trying to say
Totally worked, thanks!
@@Igorxpo no problem
@@combinacijus no problem
Thank you :)
It's like watching the modern rocket launches of today, when put into perspective of what they had available back then. Great historical footage!
The airplane had already been INVENTED in 1906 without catapult's dependence. Dumont was the inventor.
Thank you for NOT adding artificial sound effects.
