CRAP !!
Orville took the first flight !
The Wrights took to the air on December 17, 1903, making two flights each
from level ground into a freezing headwind gusting to 27 miles per hour (43
km/h). The first flight, by Orville at 10:35 am, of 120 feet (37 m) in 12
seconds, at a speed of only 6.8 miles per hour (10.9 km/h) over the ground,
was recorded in a famous photograph.[40] The next two flights covered
approximately 175 and 200 feet (53 and 61 m), by Wilbur and Orville
respectively. Their altitude was about 10 feet (3.0 m) above the ground.
