About this Quote

This quote by Orville Wright is referring to the Wright bros' very first effective flight in 1903. The Wright siblings had been working on their creation for several years and were finally prepared to test it out. In order to do this, they required a suitable location to launch their aircraft. They chose a smooth stretch of ground about one hundred feet north of the new structure they had actually built for their experiments. This was the best spot for their first flight as it was flat and had no obstructions. The Wright brothers laid the track for their aircraft and after that made history by taking off and flying for the very first time. This quote is a reminder of the hard work and commitment the Wright siblings took into their innovation and how their efforts paid off in the end.
