From Wright Flyers To Aerial Thermography: The 1910 Wright Brother's Hangar At Huffman Prairie, Michael L. Hargrave, Dave Babson, Thomas L. Sever, Dwain K. Butler
Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories
The Huffman Prairie Flying Field, now a National Historic Landmark located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, was the scene of many of the Wright Brother's activities between 1904 and 1916. Following their remarkable success at Kitty Hawk in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright returned home to develop a versatile and marketable airplane. They used Huffman Prairie as a site to test aircraft and train pilots. There they constructed (in 1904, 1905, and 1910) a series of modest structures to house their aircraft. While each of these buildings is historically important, the 1910 hangar is the focus of this paper. From …

Rumors Of Flight: The Photographic Record Of The Wright Brothers At Huffman Prairie, Jeffery Alan John
Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories
Today, one hundred years after the Wright Brothers conducted their research leading to powered flight, we can revisit the period between 1900 and 1905. We know what the brothers did, and how they did it, largely because the Wrights conscientiously recorded their work both visually and verbally. In this sense, they showed an extraordinary dimension of their inventiveness. The camera was an important instrument of their research. The Wright Brothers as inventors had a unique understanding of the power of photography to make an accurate representation of reality (Nolan, 1984). As a result, the Wright Brothers have left us a …
