My brother Wilbur did not go to college because he was sick. He studied at home and read the books in
our house in Dayton, Ohio.

Wilbur was four years older than I, but we were good friends, and we liked to play with the same toys.
We loved to play with Wilbur’s kite the most. We ran with that kite in the field near our house. When it
broke, Wilbur and I made more with wood and sheets and gave them to our family.

I liked to work with Wilbur. In 1892, when we were older, we opened a bicycle store in the city. For many
years, we made and sold bicycles. But Wilbur wanted us to make an airplane and fly it in the sky.

In December of 1903, we drove with our airplane, the “Wright Flier,” to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was
cold that day, December 17, but we wanted to fly our airplane. I was sitting inside the airplane, and
Wilbur was running beside me because the airplane was slow.

I went faster and faster, and I flew the airplane in the sky ... for 12 seconds! In the afternoon that same
day, Wilbur flew the airplane, and I ran beside him. He was in the sky for 59 seconds!

We were the first people to make and fly an airplane, but Wilbur and I made more than the first airplane.
That cold day in December, we made history.
Orville Wright
