Wright Wood
A frustrated
Wilbur exclaimed to Orville in August 1901,
"Not
in a thousand years will man ever fly."
But
they flew.
Then
they flew some more.
They
built a sturdy hangar out of heartwood on Huffman Prairie in 1905.
Same
wood they built their flying contraptions from.
Good
wood.
Worthy
wood.
The
brothers knew that flying machines made from metal may some day get off
the ground,
but
they would never have the same soul.
