Ceremonies Held for the
57th Anniversary of
Wright Bros. First Flight
KITTY HAWK, N. C. UR —
America’s first military aviator,
speaking at ceremonies here com
memorating the 57th anniversary
of the Wright Brothers flight, said
Saturday America’s airpower has
been held by apathy.
Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois,
who flew a Wright plane in 1910,
said “it always seems that the
people who are in this flying
business must keep educating the
rest of the nation to the impor
tance of constant progress in the
science of aeronautics.
“There is too much apathy on
the part of too many people about
the need for maintaining our
leadership and for remaining in
the forefront in the development
of advanced types of aircraft and
spacecraft today.”
North Carolina Gov. Luther
Hodges and other state and fed
eral , officials were among the
small crowd which gathered at the
Wright Brothers Memorial atop
Kill Devil Hill. At 10:37 a. m.,
marking the exact time of the
first heavier-than-air flight in
1903, some of the Air Force’s
most modern planes flew over the
spot where the Wright Brothers
experimented and made their
powered flight.
A new $275,000 visitors’ center
and administration building was
dedicated during the ceremonies
near the spot where the Wright
machine soared for 12 seconds
over the sands of a wind-swept
finger of land off the North Caro
lina coast.
Ironically, the observance took
place just 24 hours after the worst
air disaster in history when two
airliners carrying 128 persons col
lided over New York, taking a
toll of 137 persons, including nine
on the ground. One of the flights
originated in Dayton, Ohio —
hometown of the Wright brothers.
