The Wright Stuff: How Man Learned to Fly
The 1911 Wright Brothers plane, the Vin Fiz was the first airplane to cross the United States. The flight took 84 days with the plane landing 70 times. It crash-landed so many times that little of its original building materials were still on the plane when it arrived in California. The Vin Fiz was named after a grape soda made by the Armour Packing Company.

‘I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years. Two years later we ourselves made flights. This demonstration of my impotence as a prophet gave me such a shock that ever since I have distrusted myself and avoided all predictions.’ — Wilbur Wright, 1908 Wilbur Wright (left) and his brother Orville.
