Dayton Days

Posted on

The business end of a big old jet. Dayton, Ohio, is merely 40 miles up the road (as we say in Scotland), and it is the place credited with the development of the first practical aircraft. That’s a bit of a mouthful. Suffice to say, the Wright brothers Wilbur and Orville lived there and used their bike shop to develop the world’s first heavier than air aircraft that could successfully fly under it’s own power.
