snapped the shutter to take what would become one of the most historic photographs of the century. The course of the flight, in Orville's words, was extremely erratic. The flyer rose. Dip down. Rose again.

Bounced. and dipped again like a bucking bronco. The distance flown had been one hundred and twenty feet. The total time airborne was approximately twelve seconds.
