Even though the Wright Brothers did test their non-powered gliders in the area known as Kitty Hawk on the barrier islands now known as The Outer Banks of North Carolina, their actual powered flight took place at the sand dune known as Big Kill Devil Hill in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, the area four miles south of Kitty Hawk as noted in the letter that they wrote to their father after their first successful powered flight. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is still located there today.

Hey folks,

This program is not a documentary in any sense of the word. It is really a fictional piece that goes from one error to another concerning the beginning of manned flight. For some reason the writers of this show seemed intent on the glorification of Glen Curtiss at the expense of the genius of the Wright brothers. This program is truly a waste of time which could be used in reading and watching many other source materials.

Best wishes, Dave Wile
