In commemoration
of the courage, perseverance
and achievements of
WILBUR and ORVILLE
WRIGHT
Through original research
the Wright Brothers acquired
scientific knowledge
and developed theories
of aerodynamics
which their invention
of aileron control
enabled them in 1903
to build and fly at Kitty Hawk
the first power-driven
man-carrying aeroplane
capable of flight.
Their further development
of the aeroplane
gave it a capacity for service
which established aviation as
one of the great forward steps
in human progress.
Wilbur and Orville Wright
discovered the secret of flight.
As inventors, builder and flyers
they brought aviation
to the world.
