Sputnik Adds Sobering Note to
Anniversary of Wright Bros.’ Flight
KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C., Wf)—
Here, amid the sand dunes of the
Outer Banks 54 years ago yester
day, man first took flight in a
powered craft.
^.bout six hours before cere
monies commemorating the flight,
a man-made moon bearing the
body of a dog passed over.the sea
just east of here and 500 miles in
the sky, testifying to the giant
steps in flight since that first 120
foot effort.
The passage by Russia’s Sput
nik II, signifying the dawn of the
space age, added a * sobering1
thought to the festivities honoring
the Wright Brothers, Orville and
Wilbur, who ushered in the air
age with their flight here.
Yesterday’s ceremony included
ground-breaking for a $250,000
•museum near the site of the
Wright Brothers national monu
ment where the flight, occurred.
Oh Dec. 14, 1903, Wilbur Wright
won a coin-toss from his brother
for the first try in the flimsy air
craft, powered by a 12-hp., 4-cyl
inder handmade engine with a
one-gallon fuel supply,
The plane slipped at. the end of
its takeoff monorail and crashed.
Three days later, repairs to the
plane completed, Orville took the
controls for the first successful
flight.
